In a way, today's puzzle was a very simple game: keep finding the letters you need and it didn't take much time for them to fall into place. In hindsight, it is interesting to look back on how many times I almost entered today's answer, as if I had deliberately dodged it for fun.

Good mood only today. Proud supporters of a sports team would do this from the stands, as would a happy audience at a great concert. On a smaller scale, if someone is down, you want to cheer them up.

If you memorize a lot of past Wordle answers, you will have a better chance of guessing today's Wordle answer without accidentally choosing an answer that has already been used. Also, looking at past Wordle solutions can give you great ideas for fun starting words to keep your daily puzzles fresh.

Here are some recent Wordle solutions:

Wordle shows 5 boxes in 6 columns each day.

You want to start with a strong word like ALERT, which contains multiple vowels, common consonants, and non-repeating letters; pressing Enter will display the correct or incorrect answer in the box. If the box goes to ⬛️, that means the letter is not in the secret word at all. A 🟨 means the letter is in the word but not in that position. 🟩 means that the correct letter is in the correct position.

The second time, as a complement to the first, uses another "good" word to cover the common letter missed the last time and at the same time tries to avoid the letter that we now know for sure is not present in today's answer.

Then it is just a matter of using what you have learned to narrow down the correct word. You can try a total of 6 times, and you can only use actual words (so you cannot fill the box with EEEEE to see if there is an E). Letters can be repeated (e.g. BOOKS).

Wordle was originally conceived by software engineer Josh Wardle as a surprise for his partner, who liked word games. From there it spread to his family and was finally released to the public. Since then, the word puzzle game has spawned a slew of Wordle-like games, focusing the daily gimmicks on music, math, and geography; it wasn't long before Wordle became so popular that it was sold to the New York Times for a seven-figure sum. Indeed, it would only be a matter of time before we would be communicating solely through tricolored boxes.
