How Wordle Works, in Case You're New
The rules of Wordle haven't changed since it launched: six guesses, one secret five-letter word, and color-coded feedback after every attempt. A green tile means that letter is right and in the right place. Yellow means the letter shows up in the word, just not there. Gray rules that letter out completely. Everybody gets the same puzzle each day, and it refreshes at midnight local time. Winning comes down to using those six chances efficiently enough to corner the word before you're out of guesses.

Choosing a Strong Starting Word
The best Wordle openers are built to maximize information, not to guess the answer outright. That means favoring letters that appear often in five-letter words — E, A, R, T, O, I, N and S are the usual suspects — and avoiding repeats so each letter you test is a fresh data point. Words like SLATE, CRANE, TRACE and STARE are popular for exactly that reason. Vowel-loaded options such as ADIEU and AUDIO aren't wrong, just less efficient, since they spend letters on vowels instead of the consonants that usually do the heavy lifting when it comes to narrowing things down.
It's also worth thinking beyond single letters to common letter pairs — SH, ST, CR, CH and similar combinations open a lot of five-letter words, so a second guess that includes one can rule out several candidates at once.
From there, the usual advice applies: don't retest a letter you already know is gray, and always shift a yellow letter somewhere new rather than abandoning it. Or skip the guesswork entirely and let our Wordle Solver filter the list for you once you've got a few clues locked in.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is today's Wordle answer?
The answer to Wordle #1,935, for October 6, 2026, is [DIMLY]. You'll find it spelled out in the tile-reveal section below if you want to confirm it directly rather than reading through the hints.
What number is today's Wordle puzzle?
It's Wordle #1,935, for October 6, 2026. Puzzle numbers climb by one each day in sequence, counting up from the game's original 2021 launch with no gaps.
Where did Wordle come from?
Wordle was built by software engineer Josh Wardle, who first prototyped it privately in 2013 and released it to the public in 2021. It grew quickly enough that The New York Times bought it in early 2022, and it remains part of NYT Games.
How many tries does Wordle give you?
You get six attempts per puzzle, and each one has to be a real five-letter word the game recognizes. After each guess, the letters change color to show how close you are: green for correct placement, yellow for correct letter wrong spot, and gray for not in the word.
When exactly does a new Wordle appear?
At midnight — but specifically midnight in your own local time zone, not a fixed worldwide moment. That's why the "new day" can arrive at a different real-world time for players in different places.
Is this site run by or connected to The New York Times?
No, it isn't. This is an unofficial, independent page covering the daily Wordle answer. The New York Times owns and publishes the actual Wordle game.
Is there a way to play older Wordle puzzles?
The New York Times took down free public access to its back catalog of puzzles. There's now an official archive, but it requires an NYT Games subscription to use. If you just need to check a recent answer, the table on this page covers the last several days for free.
The hints didn't get me there — now what?
Feed your known letters — green, yellow and gray — into our free Wordle Solver. It cross-references a full word list against your clues and shows you only the words that could still be correct.
Does Wordle have a built-in hint button?
No. The only feedback Wordle itself gives you is the tile colors after each guess — there's no in-game hint system, which is exactly why hint pages like this one exist.
