Wordle 491 answer for October 23: Wordle is getting ready for Halloween. Today's word has a unique Halloween flavor that might just spook you out. But in order to get to the word, you first have to solve it. And that is where a big problem lies. Today, the game has thrown us a big challenge of a letter that repeats three times in the same word. That means, this word has only three unique letters. This also means that you can use the letter elimination technique and waste four different attempts and still may not even see even a single letter. That makes it a really tough puzzle. And if you do not feel up for it, just check our Wordle hints and clues. And if you're in need of some extra assistance, then just scroll to the bottom and check the solution.

As mentioned above, the repeated letter is going to be the biggest problem you face today. Apart from that, the word does not have any uncommon letters and the word is something you're quite familiar with. And the letter arrangement is also standard. We would recommend starting the puzzle with a common consonant-heavy word.

These clues have revealed everything about the word. You just need to think about it a little and you will have your answer. If you want more information, scroll to the bottom for the solution.
