This word is also the name of a small, green, briny flower buds used to flavour some foods. You'll need to unearth two vowels to solve today's Wordle. 

There are no double letters in today's Wordle. 

Looking to extend your Wordle winning streak? Perhaps you've just started playing the popular daily puzzle game and are looking for some pointers. Whatever the reason you're here, these quick tips can help push you in the right direction: 

There's no racing against the clock with Wordle so you don't need to rush for the answer.

Stepping away for a while might mean the difference between a win and a line of grey squares. 

Another day, another win. The answer to the August 29 (801) Wordle is CAPER.
