How to play Wordle
Wordle lives here on the New York Times website. A new puzzle goes live every day at midnight, your local time.
Start by guessing a five-letter word. The letters of the word will turn green if they’re correct, yellow if you have the right letter in the wrong place, or gray if the letter isn’t in the day’s secret word at all. For more, check out our guide to playing Wordle here, and my strategy guide here for more advanced tips. (We also have more information at the bottom of this post, after the hints and answers.)
Ready for the hints? Let’s go!
Does today’s Wordle have any unusual letters?
We’ll define common letters as those that appear in the old typesetters’ phrase ETAOIN SHRDLU. (Memorize this! Pronounce it “Edwin Shirdloo,” like a name, and pretend he’s a friend of yours.)
They’re all pretty common today! Four are on our list of common letters, and the other one is close behind. Nothing unusual today.
Can you give me a hint for today’s Wordle?
You’ll have to link some things together to get this one.

How many vowels are in today’s Wordle?
There are two (different) vowels in today’s word.
What letter does today’s Wordle start with?
Today’s word starts with C.
What letter does today’s Wordle end with?
Today’s word ends with N.
What is the solution to today’s Wordle?

How I solved today’s Wordle
ARISE got me a yellow A and I, so those were probably all the vowels in play. Instead of TOUCH, I decided to guess some more consonants and get intel on the placement of the A by playing CHANT. That was as good as a solve: I knew from the three greens that the word must be CHA_N, with an I needing to fit into the blank spot. CHAIN it is.

A primer on Wordle basics
The idea of Wordle is to guess the day’s secret word. When you first open the Wordle game, you’ll see an empty grid of letters. It’s up to you to make the first move: type in any five-letter word.
Now, you can use the colors that are revealed to get clues about the word:
