Reveal the answer — spoiler
MAJOREnough of a hint.
You choose how much.
These Wordle hints refer to the New York Times daily five-letter puzzle. Open a clue when you need it, and leave the others closed if you want to keep solving. The answer sits behind a separate spoiler control.
Start with a gentle clue
The first hint counts occurrences of A, E, I, O and U, so two copies of the same vowel count twice. It does not count Y as a vowel. The second clue tells you whether letters repeat, without revealing which ones.
Reveal a letter if you are stuck
The next hints give the first and last letters. Use them alongside the colors in your own game: a correct letter needs the right position, while a yellow letter must move to another spot.
Check the puzzle date
Wordle changes at midnight in your location. The date selector lets you check today or one of the previous six days. If a day's answer cannot be verified, the page shows an unavailable message rather than replacing it with another puzzle.
