Morning, Wordlers! New day, new Wordle.

You'll find today's Wordle answer at the bottom of this post, but if you want to try and get there yourself first, you'll find a few clues as well as general Wordle tips, strategies, and info as you make your way down.

Created by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner and later bought by the New York Times in a seven-figure deal, Wordle has made five-letter words a bigger deal than four-letter ones in 2022, and inspired countless clones and variations on the basic guessing-game format.

Try the diabolically hard Absurdle, the mathtastic Primel, and the map-based Worldle, the multi-game variants that add up to the 31-word Grand Slam (aka Untrigintordle) — or you might want to go deeper with Wordle clones for specific fandoms.
