Wordle 545 answer for December 16: While there are counter-strategies for all the different kinds of Wordle shenanigans, there is no way out of one particular trickery – the high variable words. These are your everyday words like ‘MATCH' which is a common word with seemingly no difficult letter arrangements. Yet, once you get the easier to find letters like A, T and H, you will fall into the void of variables like ‘catch', ‘batch', ‘latch', ‘hatch' and so forth which makes finding out the right word incredibly difficult. And today's Wordle brings a similar problem. But don't worry, use these Wordle hints and clues to get closer to your answer. And if they seem insufficient, just scroll to the bottom for the right solution.

To make your work easier, the word has no repeated letters. That means every single letter in the game is unique and by using the letter elimination strategy, you can find all the five clues. There is one uncommon letter but finding it would not be too much of a hassle for you. Finally, the letter arrangement of the word is also pretty common. So, all you have to focus on is the variability of the word and have to find the right order of the letters.

1. Today's word begins with the letter P.

2. The word contains two vowels in it. 

3. The word ends with E.

4. The remaining vowel is O.

5. The uncommon letter is the word is B.

These are your clues. Just think about it for a second and you will find that you already know the answer. And if you cannot indulge in guesswork then just scroll down for the solution.
