I've got the answer to Wordle today, a helpful hint to nudge you in the right direction, and plenty more tips to make playing the online puzzle a success. All the help you need for the July 23 (399) Wordle is just below.

It's been a real brain-melting week here, the summer heat going from pleasantly toasty to constant thoughts of ice cubes within about an hour of the sun coming up over the horizon, and that's made concentrating on Wordle difficult—but not impossible. It's all about picking quiet, cool, moments in this weather, the early morning or late evening is the perfect time to grab a little puzzle action.

It's time to think about insects again, as today's word is the general term for incredibly small (1-3mm) yet prolific flies. Apparently they're a great source of food for fish and birds, but humans generally see them as swarms of biting irritants.  

Want to make sure you win? No problem. The answer to the July 23 (399) Wordle isMIDGE.

Every day Wordle presents you with six rows of five boxes, and it's up to you to work out which secret five-letter word is hiding inside them.

You'll want to start with a strong word(opens in new tab) like ALERT—something containing multiple vowels, common consonants, and no repeat letters. Hit Enter and the boxes will show you which letters you've got right or wrong. If a box turns ⬛️, it means that letter isn't in the secret word at all.
