A good start to a Wordle puzzle is often the difference between success and failure when tackling the brainteaser.
If you have struggled with Thursday’s challenge so far, you can look to Newsweek to give you a helping hand with the latest guide.
After Wordle was released to the public in October 2021, it quickly became a viral sensation, with many players taking to social media each day to share their scores.
The word-based puzzle was developed by New York-based software developer Josh Wardle during the coronavirus lockdown as he wanted a simple game for him and his partner to enjoy.
In January 2022, Wordle was purchased by The New York Times for an undisclosed sum, though the game remains free to play.

The game’s premise is relatively simple as players follow a color system to work out a five-letter word within six guesses.
Green tiles show how many letters are in the word and in the correct position. A yellow tile means the letter is in the word, but in the wrong place. A gray tile means that the letter is not in the word at all.
While everyone has their own techniques for solving the problem, some days the same sure-thing strategy you have stood by could result in you failing to crack the addictive daily game.
