Today’s Wordle hint suggests a small, thin, loose piece of something that could be related to paint chips, falling snow, salt, or crumbly pastry. The hint also confirms that there are no double letters in today’s Wordle. To beat Wordle, it’s essential to start with a good opening guess that includes a mix of unique consonants and vowels, narrow down the letter pool quickly with a tactical second guess, and watch out for repeating letters in the answer.

The answer to today’s Wordle is “FLAKE.” Previous Wordle answers include words like “CHALK,” “PENNE,” and “FERAL.” To play Wordle successfully, it’s recommended to start with a strong word like “ARISE” that contains common consonants and multiple vowels, avoid repeating letters in the starting word, and use the feedback from each guess to make informed decisions for the next one. The game allows for six tries in total using real words and colored squares indicate correct letters in the right position or in the word but in the wrong position.

Wordle was created by software engineer Josh Wardle as a surprise for his partner who enjoys word games. The game gained popularity within his family before being released to the public and eventually acquired by the New York Times. Wordle has inspired various spin-offs focused on different themes such as music, math, or geography. It seems that Wordle’s success may lead to a future where we communicate solely through colored boxes.
