Solving the Wordle and its various alternative versions has become a popular way to start the day. Each day, the game will pick a different five-letter word, which players need to guess in up to six tries, then can brag about on social media. The daily word is the same for all players in the world, and there are no clues but the letters themselves, which will change colors depending on where, or if, they are in the word.

You should also pay attention to the letters that came out gray or yellow in your previous guesses, so you don’t waste your last tries.

If you’re still unsure and don’t want to wait until Wordle resets at midnight local time, you can always look up the answer to today’s puzzle (which we update around 12am CT).
