Has Thursday's Wordlegot you thrown for a loop? It happens! There's no shame if it's all just too much and you suddenly feel like you have literally never learned a single five-letter word in your dang life. We've got what you need to jog your memory and unjumble your thoughts.
The answer to the July 7 Wordle, puzzle #383, can be found at the end of this article, with the spoiler clearly signposted. If you're not ready to find out the solution yet, read on for a few tips, gentle hints, and strategies to help you puzzle it out today and every day.
Wordle's sudden explosion at the end of 2021 led to a round of press focused on its creator. Former Reddit engineer Josh Wardle actually came up with the game in 2021 as a private exercise for him and his word game-loving partner. It eventually became a staple of their family WhatsApp messaging, and that's when Wardle started to suspect he might have something special enough to merit a wider release.
So special, in fact, that the New York Timesbought it from him in early 2022. Hundreds of thousands of people now play it every day.
Not the day you're after? Here's the Wordleanswer for July 6.
One Wordlea day is all well and good, but sometimes it just isn't enough. While you could once play the entire archive of past puzzles, the archive was taken down at the request of the New York Times, according to the site.
We have some ideas to help you pick the perfect first move. Such tips include choosing a word with at least two different vowels in it, plus a few common consonants such as S, T, R, or N. Also, if you want to have a chance at the elusive 1/6 result, make sure your trusty starter hasn't been the solution on a previous day — the word list won't see any reruns until sometime in 2027.
You might find "Wordle" results in an iOS App Store or Google Play Store search, but don't mistake it for the real thing. Wordle, the original one Josh Wardle came up with and kindly delivered unto the internet in late 2021, currently only exists as a browser game that lives right here. If you're playing it anywhere else, it's — at best — a shameless knock-off that's trying to capitalize on someone else's success.
And, yes, it's still free.
If you've been finding Wordletoo easy, there is a Hard Mode you can enable to give yourself more of a challenge. But unless you activate this mode, we can assure you that Wordle isn't getting harder. (This past week or so certainly has served up some real doozies, though, so don't beat yourself up too much if you broke your streak.)
The whole point of Wordleis that everyone's solving the same puzzle, with the same answer, no matter where you are in the world. However, occasionally the puzzle game will accept two different correct solutions on the same day, in apparent defiance of Wordlelaw.
This aberration is due to changes the New York Timesbegan making after it acquired Wordleearlier this year, removing obscure or potentially sensitive words from the original list Wardle put together. To make sure you're always getting the same puzzle as everyone else, refresh your browser before you play — don't worry, the site will remember your streak.
It's an adjective.
The letter A!
One letter appears more than once.
Ready?
We're about to tell you the answer.
Today's word is...
AGAPE.
