Yesterday's Wordle Answer
Yesterday's Wordle was of medium difficulty, with the hint "involves competition." The answer contained four common letters and one fairly common letter. The answer was 'SPORT.'
Wordle Basics
The objective of Wordle is to guess the day's secret word based on the colors that appear after each guess. Green means the letter is correct and in the correct position, yellow means the letter is somewhere in the word but not in the correct position, and gray means the letter is not in the solution word at all. You have six guesses to find the word before the game is over.
Best Starter Words for Wordle
The best starting words for Wordle contain common letters to increase the chances of getting yellow and green squares. Some suggestions by the New York Times' Wordle analysis bot include CRANE, TRACE, SLANT, CRATE, and CARTE. Using these starting words can help you gather information about what letters are in the word.
Strategy for Winning at Wordle
To win at Wordle, use your guesses to obtain information about the letters in the word to increase your chances of solving it quickly. For example, if you know that the word must end in -OUND, don't waste guesses on different words that contain that pattern. Instead, combine those consonants and guess a new word that follows that pattern.
Wordle Alternatives
If you enjoy five-letter guessing games, here are some alternatives:
- Wheeldle: Play one puzzle after another.
- Dordle and Quordle: Play two or four puzzles at the same time with the same guesses. There are also Octordle (eight puzzles) and Sedecordle (16 puzzles).
- Waffle: Guess the unscrambled five-letter words from a grid of letters.
- Absurdle: The solution changes after each guess, and you must strategically back the game into a corner until only one possible word remains.
- Squabble: Compete against other players to guess the solution within a time limit.
- Antiwordle: Try not to guess the day's solution by reusing letters you guessed correctly. The longer it takes you, the better you are at the game.
Social media buzzes with the final solution of 'Wordle' for May 28, 2025, as players share their strategies and experiences. The five-letter answer, 'POLAR', is connected to pop-culture discussions on entertainment platforms, due to its association with a type of vortex.
