Newsweek is here to help you start your week off smoothly with a Wordle puzzle, one of The New York Times’ most popular word games. Wordle was acquired by the newspaper from creator Josh Wardle in January 2022 after gaining 2 million players in just four months. Along with Connections, Wordle has become a beloved word game for many players.
To play Wordle, the goal is to guess the correct five-letter word. As you enter letters into blocks, their colors will change to indicate if they are correct or in the word but in the wrong place. Players have six guesses in total to figure out the word. Some tips for starting include beginning with the same word each time for consistency or trying a different word each time for a fresh approach. Starting with a word that has many vowels, like “audio” or “canoe,” can also be helpful.
For Monday’s Wordle puzzle, hints were provided to guide players to the correct answer. The word had dual meanings depending on the context, was often associated with listening to music, and described the material used to create the item. It contained one vowel and the letter “y.” The answer for the puzzle was “vinyl,” which refers to a strong plastic used for making various items such as floor coverings, furniture, clothing, and records.
Players can look forward to Newsweek providing hints, tips, and answers for the Wordle puzzle every day. The new puzzle is released at midnight in local time zones, giving players a daily challenge to kickstart their day.
