Today’s Wordle answer is EXALT, a word meaning to hold someone in high esteem or raise them to a higher position. The answer includes the letter X, which is one of the five least-used letters in the alphabet. Other hints for today’s Wordle were that there are no repeated letters, two vowels, and the word begins with E. The answer was also mentioned to be commonly used in hymns. Previous Wordle answers include words like TUTOR, BRINY, HITCH, and NICER.
For those who may be struggling to come up with a starting word for Wordle, some suggestions include looking around and choosing a five-letter object as a starter word or using words with popular letters. The game itself gives players six chances to guess a five-letter word and provides feedback on whether the guessed letters are in the puzzle and in the correct position. Creator Josh Wardle sold the game to The New York Times for seven figures in 2022 after creating it for his partner. The game first appeared on June 19, 2021.
In addition to Wordle, The New York Times offers other games like Connections and Spelling Bee. Connections challenges players to group 16 words into four groups of related words, with some relationships being more challenging to identify. Spelling Bee is another popular game, and Strands is a new game still in beta testing that players are trying to master. Connections even had an all-emoji puzzle on April Fools’ Day, although not all players found it amusing. The Times celebrated the 1,000th word in Wordle with the word “ERUPT,” acknowledging the frustration that can come with tough puzzle streaks.
