October 21's solution and clues are here.Wordlewas initially created by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner, though it quickly spread until it became an international phenomenon. Thousands of players across the globe tackle Wordleeach day, with some fans even having created alternate versions of the daily word puzzle game. These include battle royale format Squabble, music identification game Heardle, and variations like Dordleand Quordlethat make you guess multiple words at once.

If you're finding Wordle too easy, you can try enabling its Hard Mode to give your brain a tougher challenge. But Wordleisn't getting any harder by itself — it's the same difficulty that it's always been.
Wordle is a fun, collective experience specifically because everyone's solving for the same word every day. Occasionally, though, Wordlehas accepted two different solutions as correct on the same day. This is because the New York Timesmade changes to the Wordleword list after acquiring it, and sometimes swaps out words from the original list.
