The March 2nd Wordle answer may leave a bad taste in players' mouths, but with a few hints anyone can solve this puzzle. This once-a-day word-guessing game has spiked in popularity throughout 2022 with its simple design, challenging gameplay, and excellent social media sharing ability. Recently purchased by The New York Times, Wordle has become a staple in many peoples' morning routine, or the perfect short break in the middle of a workday.
Solving a Wordle puzzle is simple, players get six chances to figure out a randomized five-letter word. Whenever a word is guessed the game will highlight certain boxes to give clues to the correct answer. If a box is green, the letter is correct and in the right spot. Yellow shows a correct letter incorrectly places, and grey means the letter isn't in the word at all. Using this information players continue to guess the correct word for the day until they get it right, or run out of guesses. Wordle also has a 'Hard Mode' that can be turned on in the options menu. This forces players into using the proven correct letters and completely removes the use of letters that have been shown to be incorrect.
