How to play Wordle<\/h2>\n

Wordle lives here on the New York Times website<\/u><\/a>. A new puzzle goes live every day at midnight, your local time.<\/p>\n

Start by guessing a five-letter word. The letters of the word will turn green if they\u2019re correct, yellow if you have the right letter in the wrong place, or gray if the letter isn\u2019t in the day\u2019s secret word at all. For more, check out our guide to playing Wordle here<\/u><\/a>, and my strategy guide here for more advanced tips<\/u><\/a>. (We also have more information at the bottom of this post, after the hints and answers.)<\/p>\n
