Wordle is a popular game where players guess a five-letter word each day. It became a sensation around the world after its launch in 2021. The game’s simplicity and daily challenge have made it especially popular on social media. Over time, several variations of Wordle have been created for different interests, including Quordle, Octordle, and Nerdle for math fans.
Wordle began on June 19, 2021, with about 2,315 possible solutions. When The New York Times bought Wordle in 2022, they removed six words from the list: agora, pupal, lynch, fibre, slave, and wench. Whenever someone visits the Wordle site, their browser downloads a program that keeps track of all previous answers and potential future words, which helps determine what the next correct word might be.
As of January 9, 2023, there are 1,739 words left that Wordle could still choose as the answer. Since the game’s code is planned out through October 2027, it’s possible to know the exact answer for each day. For fair play, the list of remaining possible words is arranged alphabetically.
Here are some examples of words starting with the letter A:
– abbot
