Wordle has remarkably humble origins considering its viral popularity across the English-speaking world. The game was invented by Josh Wardle, a New York-based software engineer, who simply wanted a puzzle “for me and my partner to enjoy.”

In October 2021, Wordle was released to the public, after which it rapidly developed a loyal following with many players sharing their scores on social media each day. Such was its popularity that the New York Times purchased Wordle in January 2022 for an undisclosed low seven-figure fee.

In an interview with Newsweek, Erhan Aslan, who teaches applied linguistics at the University of Reading in the U.K., provided some advice for Wordle players.

He said: “One thing that I think is important in this game is the starting word chosen. Starting off with words that include commonly used vowels, for example, e and a, consonants such as r and t, and sound sequences might be helpful. Choosing a word that starts with q, z, j, or x, for instance, may not be the best choice.

“As you get more feedback after a few guesses, users need to draw on some knowledge of phonics to narrow down or eliminate some words that they might be thinking. For example, if the second letter of the target word is l (indicated by green) and the player feels that the word starts with a consonant, they will need to know that there are only a few consonant cluster possibilities (such as bl, cl, fl, gl, pl, sl).”

The answer to today’s puzzle will be revealed at the end of this article, so scroll down with caution if you want to work it out for yourself.
