‘Wordle’ Today #725 Answer, Clues and Hints for Wednesday, June 14 Game

As satisfying as the popular Wordle game can be, after a poor start on the daily challenge, it can quickly become frustrating.

Thankfully, Newsweek is here with the latest guide on how to solve Wednesday’s puzzle.

Wordle was released to the public in October 2021 and went from having just a few dozen active players to a sensation that attracted millions of regular users. The New York Times acquired it in January 2022 for an undisclosed sum.

The premise of Wordle is simple: there is one five-letter word per day, and just six attempts to guess it. The game grew more popular as players began sharing their success or failures on social media.

The color of the tiles changes to show how close your guess was to the word of the day. If a letter is in the right place, the tile turns green. If it is in the wrong place, it turns yellow. If it is not in the word at all, the tile goes gray.

While everyone has their own techniques and strategies to solving the problem, some days that same method leaves you on the brink of breaking your streak.

The game’s own developer, Josh Wardle, likes to spend his first few tries eliminating as much of the alphabet as he can.

Whatever your game plan for the addictive puzzle, now and again we could all do with a hint. Check out below for some tips that can help you solve today’s game.
