After each guess, the game gives feedback to help you get closer to the answer:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Green<\/strong>: The letter is in the word and in the correct spot.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Yellow<\/strong>: The letter is in the word, but in the wrong spot.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gray<\/strong>: The letter is not in the word at all.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Use these clues to narrow down your guesses. Every day brings a new word, and everyone around the world is trying to solve the same puzzle. Some Wordlers also play Competitive Wordle against friends, family, the Wordle Bot or even against me, your humble narrator. See rules for Competitive Wordle toward the end of this post.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"embed-base rule-embed color-accent border-solid weight-light\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"subhead-embed color-accent bg-base font-accent font-size text-align\"><strong>Today\u2019s Wordle Hints And Answer<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Wordle Bot\u2019s Starting Word: <\/strong>SLATE<\/li>\n<li><strong>My Starting Word Today:<\/strong> CHASE (293 words left)<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Hint<\/strong>: Out in the country.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Clue:<\/strong> This Wordle has a double letter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Okay, <strong>spoilers below!

Very unlucky, with 293 words remaining and a lonely yellow \u201cA.\u201d Fortunately, MORAL slashed that down to just three. I came up with VIRAL and RURAL but Wordle Bot later informed me AURAL was also an option. I normally don\u2019t like guessing a word with a double letter at this point, but my gut told me RURAL was a safer bet than VIRAL and lucky for me, that turned out to be true!<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"subhead3-embed color-body bg-base font-accent font-size text-align\">Competitive Wordle Score<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"embed-base image-embed embed-11600\" role=\"presentation\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"bMqrj\">\n<p><span style=\"-webkit-line-clamp:2\" class=\"Ccg9Ib-7 _8XF2kHYM\">Today&#8217;s Wordle Bot<\/span><\/p>\n<p><small class=\"pGGCM2aD\">Screenshot: Erik Kain<\/small><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>That\u2019s 1 point for me for guessing in three and another for beating the Bot.
