The weekend has finally arrived—and so has another Wordle that Newsweek can help you solve.
Invented by Brooklyn-based software engineer Josh Wardle, he perfected the word-based puzzle during the COVID-19 lockdowns before releasing it to the public in October 2021.
Following its public debut, Wordle exploded from 90 users on November 1, 2021, to 300,000 on January 2, 2022, according to figures by Statista. The New York Times purchased it for an undisclosed seven-figure amount soon after, remaining the newspaper’s most popular puzzle.
“It has been incredible to watch the game bring so much joy to so many and I feel so grateful for the personal stories some of you have shared with me—from Wordle uniting distant family members, to provoking friendly rivalries, to supporting medical recoveries,” Wardle previously said. “On the flip side, I’d be lying if I said this hasn’t been overwhelming. After all, I am just one person, and it is important to me that, as Wordle grows, it continues to provide a great experience to everyone.”
A large part of the game’s appeal is its simplicity. Players get six attempts to guess a five-letter word. Gray tiles behind a letter indicate that it’s not in the word at all; yellow means the letter is featured but is in the wrong position; while green lets players know the letter is in the word and in the correct place.
The answer to Saturday’s Wordle will be revealed at the end of this article, so make sure you scroll down with caution if you want to work it out for yourself.
