Today’s Wordle puzzle was a breeze, with each new line revealing a bit more of the answer and guiding me in the right direction. The hints weren’t too generous, but they definitely helped me stay on track. The answer to the July 9 Wordle was BLARE.
If you’re looking to improve your Wordle game, here are three tips to keep in mind:
1. Start with a word that has a mix of common vowels and consonants.
2. Consider that the answer might repeat the same letter.
3. Avoid using guesses that include letters you’ve already eliminated.
Remember, there’s no rush when playing Wordle. Treat it like a casual crossword puzzle in the newspaper, and feel free to come back to it later if you’re stuck. Stepping away for a while can make a difference between a win and a row of grey squares.
Wordle provides six rows of five boxes each day, and your goal is to uncover the five-letter word hidden among them. Starting with a strong word like ALERT can give you a head start. Avoid starting words with repeating letters, so you don’t miss out on confirming or eliminating extra letters. After each guess, you’ll see which letters are correct, in the wrong position, or not in the word at all.
Originally created by software engineer Josh Wardle as a surprise for his word game-loving partner, Wordle quickly gained popularity and was eventually sold to the New York Times. The game has inspired many similar puzzles focused on different themes like music, math, or geography. It seems like tricolor boxes might become the universal language soon.
So, if you’re ready to tackle the daily Wordle challenge, remember to stay patient, strategic, and open to new word possibilities. Happy guessing!
