After a tricky puzzle yesterday, today's Wordle is significantly easier, with many players able to solve the puzzle in three clues or less.. 

For those who somehow have missed out on the Wordle craze so far, the rules of the game are simple: players have six tries to guess a five letter word.  

Players receive clues based on which letters their guess shares with the correct word. A letter shaded in yellow means that letter also appears in the correct word 

but in a different letter location. A letter shaded in green means that letter appears in the same spot in the correct word. 

On average, it takes Wordle players about 4 tries to correctly guess a daily puzzle, although a few puzzles can be significantly trickier. The past week has featured a number of tough puzzles 

with FOUND breaking streaks due to sharing a 4-letter word ending with several other words, and NYMPH eluding players due to its lack of a traditional vowel.

To avoid getting caught in a guessing game, remember that Normal Mode players can eliminate answers by using a word that contains letters from possible answers.  

So, if you need to choose between POUND, ROUND, and SOUND, it might be easier to burn a guess with a word like PURRS to determine which one of those answers is correct.
