Today's Wordle hint and answer #825: Friday, September 22

pcgamer.com:

Keep on scrolling and you'll soon find yourself surrounded by all the Wordle help you could ever wish for. There's a hint for the September 22 (825) game ready and waiting if you need it, and if you're in danger of a complete wipe, today's Wordle answer will soon set things right.

If Wordle gave out prizes for spectacularly missing today's answer for far too long, I'm sure I'd be in the running for first place. Winning with just one guess left to go always feels like such a narrow escape, especially when those yellow letters refuse to flip to green for row after row.

This common tool is used on people and animals to keep hair (or fur) neat and tidy, by artists to spread pigment on canvas, and decorators to apply paint onto walls. Today's answer is mostly consonants—four of them, in fact. 

There are no repeat letters in today's Wordle. 

A good starting word can be the difference between victory and defeat with the daily puzzle, but once you've got the basics, it's much easier to nail down those Wordle wins. And as there's nothing quite like a small victory to set you up for the rest of the day, here are a few tips to help set you on the right path: 

There's no racing against the clock with Wordle so you don't need to rush for the answer. Treating the game like a casual newspaper crossword can be a good tactic; that way, you can come back to it later if you're coming up blank. Stepping away for a while might mean the difference between a win and a line of grey squares. 

Here's your win. The answer to the September 22 (825) Wordle is BRUSH.
