If you're feeling like May 3 may not be your luckiest day, we've got some subtle clues and Wordlestrategies to help you place those letters just right, and down the bottom of the post you'll find today's answer served straight up (though clearly signposted so you're not spoiled before you're ready).

Wordlewas created by former Reddit engineer Josh Wardle as a present for his partner (way to set the bar for romance, my, dude) and has become a daily habit for thousands of people worldwide. The game was bought by the New York Times earlier this year for a very pretty penny. 

It's also inspired a wave of variations on the format, from clones that play with the number (like Dordle and Quordle) or theme (like Taylordle or Lewdle) of possible words, to guessing games that test your knowledge of music, maps, and Hollywood. Check out the video above for more.
