Today's Wordle puzzle could prove challenging to many so Newsweek has some help to point you in the right direction and the answer to Monday's Wordle puzzle will be revealed at the end of this article.
The game, which has proven popular across the world, asks users to guess a mystery five-letter word in six tries or fewer. Wordle tries to help users identify the correct answer by using a color-coded system; each correct letter in a guess turns green, or yellow if it's in the word but is currently in the wrong place, or gray if it is incorrect.
The puzzle refreshes each day, with a new word that needs to be worked out from scratch.
The English-language puzzle game was created by New York-based software engineer Josh Wardle and was developed during the pandemic lockdown as something for him and his partner to enjoy.
Wardle previously told Newsweek he was surprised to learn the game had first become extremely popular in New Zealand.
He said: "For obvious reasons, Wordle has mostly been popular in English-speaking countries. After all, it is a language-based game. When it launched, it actually took hold in New Zealand first.
"The Twittersphere over there is quite small, so everyone tends to be rather interconnected. This means if one person shares something, a lot of others are likely to see it as well, which is how Wordle gained such momentum."
