Today's Wordle answer

Today's Wordle hints and answer — solution #1,108 Monday, July 1 (3)

So, what is today's Wordle answer for game #1,108?

Drumroll, please — it'sADAGE.

Hello Wordlers. It's not often where you get two green letters on the first turn, and then rule out 12 more before getting anything else, but that's what happened to me today.

ORATE, which contains the five most common Wordle letters, seemed to set me up beautifully with the two aforementioned greens: 'A' and 'E'. But they're both so common, that I was still left with 50 possible answers to choose from.

Most of WordleBot's best Wordle start words were in that ballpark, but a few were better, such as PLATE (39) and LEAST (28). If you played DEALT, just five options would remain in play.

I like to play a mix of 'I', 'C', 'S', 'N' and 'L' on my second turn, so I opted for PLANE. This revealed no new letters, but reduced the pool of possible answers to just 19, according to WordleBot*.

How about SHAME? No new letters.

QUAKE? Still no new letters!

Going into my fourth turn, I'd ruled out 12 characters with only two confirmed, and I was beginning to get a little worried. So worried, that I played a double letter: EVADE.

Finally, I got third character on the board: a yellow 'D'.

With only one turn left, I had to be careful. ADAGE may have seemed bold, given the double letter, but after much scanning I couldn't see any alternative (because there weren't any, according to WordleBot) so I played it.

Thankfully, it proved correct, and I completed the puzzle in six turns.

Hopefully you did it faster than me today, Wordlers. See you tomorrow.

* These were: AWAKE, EVADE, WEAVE, ADAGE, QUAKE, AGAVE, SHADE, SHAKE, SHAVE, CEASE, USAGE, ABASE, IMAGE, AMAZE, CHASE, SHAME, SUAVE, HEAVE and CHAFE.

Yesterday's Wordle answer

Reading this in a later time zone? The Wordle answer for game #1,107 was BUDDY.

Hello Wordlers. A tricky one this: no characters among the ten most common Wordle letters, and there's a troublesome repeat in there too. All in all, I was happy to scrape through on a five-turn win.

ORATE struck out, with no letters turning yellow or green. That left a massive 253 possible answers, according to WordleBot.

With no common letters at all, WordleBot's best Wordle start words were generally poor too, though some narrowed the number of answers down to low double figures. SLIDE, for example, leaves 28 answers and TRADE halves that to 14.If you opened with BLAND, only five options would remain.

While I generally try to prioritize 'I', 'C', 'S', 'N' and 'L' on my second go, the lack of confirmed vowels meant I wanted to include 'U' too.

MUSIC should be good at this, but today only the 'U' turned green, leaving a still daunting 29 options available.

I tried BULGY next, and this made good progress, with 'B' and 'Y' joining 'U' in going green.

Only three answers were left, but all of them included a double letter: BUNNY, BUDDY and BUZZY. I tried the first two, believing that 'Z' should be a last resort, and was awarded with a five-turn win. BUDDY was the answer.

Hopefully you did it faster today, Wordlers. See you tomorrow.

Wordle tips — how to win at Wordle

The best tip I can give is to use one of thebest Wordle start words. I can't stress this enough — it makes a massive difference.

Without one, you'll be scrabbling around in the dark trying (and possibly failing) to find the right five letters (or possibly fewer) out of the 26 possibles. But clever people (not me) have done the math and identified the best start words based on both frequency in English and frequency among Wordle answers. So use them!

Secondly, think about combinations, especially at the start and end. Some options are far more common than others — for instance, SH, ST, CR and CH all feature frequently.

Vowels obviously need consideration too: not all Wordle answers will contain more than one, but plenty do, and some even have three. A good Wordle start word should have used a couple, but if they don't feature you might well want to try another one or two on your next go. Plus, remember the Y — this sometimes acts as a surrogate vowel, and is easy to forget. It also appears at the end of plenty of words.

Finally, try out possibilities. So long as you don't press 'Enter' you can try possible answers to see how they look on screen. Put in likely letters plus any you know are definitely in the word, then mentally change one to the other available options. This technique has worked for me multiple times, and it's particularly helpful when the word in question is not an obvious one (like FJORD or ISLET).

But if you're still struggling with Wordle, check out how Tom's Guide's Wordle experts have honed their strategy after playing a lot of Wordle after it first launched.

We also have plenty of Wordle tips and tricks to share, like how we've analyzed every Wordle answer used to look for trends and have some further advice for you there.And if you're new to the game you should also take a look at our What is Wordle? guide.

What else should I know about Wordle?

Wordle officially launched in October 2021, but actually started in June of that year and celebrated its first birthday on June 19, 2022. (You can read my thoughts on the 5 things Wordle needs to improve if it's to keep us playing on into a fourth year.)

However, it only grew in popularity towards the end of the year, then went viral in January as the world woke up to its charms. In fact, it proved so successful that The New York Times bought Wordle for a seven-figure sum in early February and the game is now part of NYT Games.

It's played via the NYT Games website here, and is entirely free. Both the NYT and the game's creator, Josh Wardle, have stated that it will remain free. Some people think that Wordle has got harder since the NYT takeover, but it really hasn't.

Wordle is a simple game in which your challenge is to guess a five-letter word in six attempts. Each time you guess, you're told which of your chosen letters are in the target word, and whether they are in the right place.

If a letter is in the correct place, it turns green. If it's in the word but in the wrong place, it turns yellow. And if it's not in the word at all, it turns gray.

There's just one puzzle a day, and everyone completes the same one. It resets at midnight each day. You'll find more information about the game in our What is Wordle? article.

Wordle Alternatives

If you're eager for another game to pass the time while you wait, we've put together a list of the best Wordle alternatives.

Other Wordle alternatives to try are the ultra-stressful (but very good) Squabble and the soccer-themed, Who Are Ya?. We also like the geography-based Wordle clone Worldle, the Star Wars-themed SWordle and the math-based Mathler.

There are certainly plenty of options once you've finished Wordle for the day!

    There is no yellow E in Stare for March 27th.

    I used to use SUITE which uses 3 common vowels and 2 common consonants. Lately, it seems like some of the words have been a bit more obscure, so I've switched to HAVER (thanks goes out to The Proclaimers and 500 Miles for this obscure word). If no hits, that's fine, I burn some more letters to narrow the field by using two more vowels and other common consonants... MOIST. Yeah, I know... no one likes MOIST, but it reveals two more vowels and three more consonants . That combo helped me get today's HAIRY on the third guess! 🆒

    The may 10th answer might also be a double. I was working through it but I have a b,u, and t as letters that are in the actual word.

    Was in the exakt same position with the end of 335, but chose wrong. Didn't think GAMER would be a very likely word, so I chose GAZER instead. Goodbye 40 day streak!

    Ugh. Today's (#344) was near impossible for a non native English speaker. Word I've only heard in couple of songs and would probably not use naturally in conversation.

    I'm surprised to see the misspelled "alright" in a wordle story.

    I got Wordle 348 in 3 guesses as well, but I got... slightly luckier with my second guess. After guessing STARE I guessed PHONY, leaving me with 1 possible solution, and 4 green letters.

    Streak ended with #357. Stare, House, poise, loose, moose, noose.
