When Kate Bush sang about running up that hill to make a deal with God, it’s entirely plausible it was about learning the day’s Wordle answer. Unfortunately, it was also written forty years before Wordle existed.
Every 24 hours, a new challenge appears from The New York Times, with users given just six guesses to work out the five-letter word of the day. The inherent challenging nature of Wordle can leave you stumped, and here are a few gentle tips and tricks to help send you on your way.
