Today’s Wordle answer is CLIMB. The hints for this word included starting with two consonants and one vowel, being the first word in a song title from The Sound of Music, starting with the letter C, and meaning “to go up or ascend.” Yesterday’s answer was PLAIT, which sparked debates over pronunciation. Some everyday Wordle tips include choosing a common five-letter object as a starter word, such as COUCH or CHAIR.
Wordle is a game where players have six chances to guess a five-letter word, receiving feedback on whether the letters guessed are in the puzzle and in the correct spot. The creator, Josh Wardle, originally made the game for his partner and later sold it to The Times for seven figures. The game features 2,500 five-letter words out of 12,000 in the English language. The first Wordle appeared on June 19, 2021, and the game recently celebrated its 1000th word on March 15 with the answer ERUPT.
In addition to Wordle, The Times Games offers other popular games such as Connections and Spelling Bee. Connections challenges players to group related words out of a grid of 16, while Spelling Bee requires players to create words using specific letters. There is also a new game in beta called Strands. Some players find Connections to be trickier than Wordle, with challenges like grouping words based on shared themes or associations. Wordle has gained a dedicated following due to its simple yet engaging gameplay that challenges players to think creatively within the constraints of a five-letter word.
