Wordle is a daily five-letter-word puzzle with six guesses. A green tile means the letter is correct and in the right position; yellow means it is in the answer but in another position; gray means it is not in the answer. TechRadar says the puzzle resets at midnight in a player’s local time and that the daily answer is the same for everyone. Because “today” can vary with time zone, the date and puzzle number identify this solution precisely.
