Wordle today - hints, clues and answer for game #587, Friday, January 27

techradar.com:

Wordle today offers a nice challenge that fits neatly between too easy and too hard — although you might find it leaning towards the latter if you don't choose the best Wordle start word. 

In fact, there are a couple of complicating factors to today's game, so if you don't play carefully you could risk losing your streak. But I can help make sure that doesn't happen.

I'm a Wordle addict who's been playing since December 2021, so I can definitely help you solve Wordle today and improve your game for tomorrow. Read on for my hints and clues to Wordle #587. 

SPOILER WARNING: Information about Wordle today and Wordle yesterday are below, so don't read on if you don't want to know the answers. 

This is relatively unusual for Wordle — the game has an average of 1.75 vowels among its 2,309 answers.

The last game to have just one vowel in it was #581 on Saturday: BLURB.

*Note that by vowel we mean the five standard vowels (A, E, I, O, U), not Y (which is sometimes counted as a vowel too). 

W is the 13th most common starting letter in Wordle, with 82 solutions beginning with this letter.

You'd have to go back all the way to Wordle #561, on Sunday 1 January, for the last time we had an answer that started with a W — in that case the solution was WHINE.

Repeated letters are quite common in the game, with 748 of the 2,309 Wordle answers containing one. That’s roughly 15%, meaning you'd get one every 6-7 games.

As it happens we last had one just yesterday, in game #586 (BEEFY).
