It's finally Friday, folks, and though Mark Zuckerberg's promising to further ruin your Facebook and Instagram feeds, you can forget that for a minute with a spot of Wordle. If you're finding today's a challenge, though, we've got your back. All it'll take is a couple of handy pointers, and you'll be well on your way.
The answer to the July 29 Wordle, puzzle #405, can be found at the end of this article, or you can simply read on for a few tips, gentle hints, and strategies to help you every day.
Former Reddit engineer Josh Wardle came up with the game in 2021 as a private exercise for him and his word game-loving partner. It eventually became a staple of their family WhatsApp messaging, and that's when Wardle started to suspect he might have something special enough to merit a wider release.
Thousands of people around the globe now play this game each day, and fans have even created alternatives to Wordleinspired by the original format. This includes music identification game Heardle, Hollywood nerd faves Actorleand Framed, and variations like Dordleand Quordlethat make you guess multiple words at once.
Not the day you're after? You'll find the Wordleanswer for July 28 here.
We have some ideas to help you pick the perfect first move. Such tips include choosing a word with at least two different vowels to rule those building blocks in or out, plus a few common consonants such as S, T, R, or N.
Also, even if you're attached to your mathematically sound starter, once it's been the answer on any given day it won't be the answer again for a few years — so if you happen to get the elusive 1/6 result, celebrate by swapping out your starting five.
While you could once play the entire archive of past puzzles, the archive was taken down at the request of the New York Times, according to the site's creator.
If you've been finding Wordletoo easy, there is a Hard Mode you can enable to give yourself more of a challenge. But unless you activate this mode, we can assure you that Wordle isn't getting harder.
The whole point of Wordleis that everyone's solving the same puzzle, with the same answer, no matter where you are in the world. However, occasionally the puzzle game will accept two different correct solutions on the same day. This aberration is due to changes the New York Timesbegan making after it acquired Wordleearlier this year, excising words form Wardle's original list that the team considers obscure or potentially offensive.
To make sure you're always getting the same puzzle as everyone else, refresh your browser before you play — don't worry, the site will keep your streak.
