Wordle 617: February 26, 2023 Hints & Answer

screenrant.com:

As February comes to a close, another puzzle is available for fans of the game. Today's answer shouldn't create too much trouble for most as it is a fairly common word. Some players might get in a sticky situation trying to figure it out, but most likely this Sunday will be simple.

For those who prefer a challenge, the copycat might be right up their alley. This game provides four Wordle words at once that a player must solve using a shared number of guesses. Luckily, it's more than the standard six, but it's still very difficult to balance each game without running out of opportunities.

Before fully spoiling today's answer, we've provided a few hints to help out those who just need a little push in the right direction.

Hint 1

Today's answer contains the «sometimes» vowel.

Hint 2

This word goes great with a certain round, fluffy breakfast item.

Hint 3

Although appearing in nature naturally, one way to make this answer is to dissolve sugar in boiling water.

The February 26th Wordle answer is SYRUP.

For our starting word today we used our standard beginning word, IRATE. This only provided a single 'R' in the wrong position. Quickly pivoting we went with ROUND as our second guess. This helped a little more by proving another incorrect spot for 'R' and the vowel 'U'.

Moving things around a bit again we tried CURBS for our third guess which locked in the 'R' and added another new letter to the mix. Finally, after a bit of shuffling, we solved it and scored a win-in-four with SYRUP. Another successful game down, and another number for our long-standing win streak.
