Wordle #353: Hints and answers for 7th June 2022

Wordle is a five-letter word that you need to guess within 6 attempts. It is played all over the world by accessing the New York Times website. The gameplay is simple but to guess the word is what is nerve-wracking. Each time you get the right letter which happens to be part of the word, the tile is coloured Green. Green means you have satisfied the letter requirement of that day completely. It means not only that the letter is part of the word being guessed that day, but also the position of the letter to complete the word is correct. A yellow tile would indicate that the letter is part of the word, however, the positioning of the letter is incorrect. A grey tile would indicate that the word is not required in any aspect, either as part of the word or positioning.

A little about the history of how Wordle began. Josh Wardle used to play this game with his partner. This was like the guessing game that was played like “jot the word” or Jotto. During the pandemic, Josh’s partner Palak Shah and he would play till it got popular amongst mutual friends and relatives, till people wanted more and would wait for the next day to catch the word. On November 1st, 2021, 90 players played Wordle, and then on it rose to 2 million soon. People actively shared the word on Twitter and it became a craze to what it means to people today. New York Times now has bought this for a huge sum of money from Josh Wardle, and around 2700 words of the 13,000 5-letter words that are there in the English dictionary are used.
