October 27'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.
