How do these Wordle hints work?
Five clues, each a bit stronger than the last. Open as many as you need and no more.
Vowel count
Tells you how many of A, E, I, O and U are in the word, so you know how hard to hunt for them.
Repeated letters
Says whether any letter shows up twice. Double letters are one of the most common reasons people run out of guesses.
Less common letters
Flags whether the word uses J, Q, X, Z, K or V, letters most players leave until it's too late.
First letter
A big nudge. With the first letter locked in, most players solve it within a guess or two.
Last letter
The final clue before the answer. Combined with the others, it usually leaves only a handful of words.

Wordle hint FAQs
What time does the new Wordle hint come out?
A new Wordle starts at midnight in your own timezone. This page checks your device's date and shows the hints for the puzzle you're playing right now, so you never get tomorrow's clues by mistake.
Will these hints spoil the answer?
No. Every hint stays hidden until you tap it, and they run from vague to specific. The answer sits behind its own button that asks you to confirm, so you'll only see it when you choose to.
How are the daily hints made?
They come straight from the day's word: how many vowels it has, whether a letter repeats, whether it uses rare letters, and its first and last letters. Nothing is guessed, so every hint is accurate.
Is this site run by The New York Times?
No. Hintgrid is an independent fan site. Wordle is owned and published by The New York Times Company, and you can play the official game for free on its website or in its Games app.
Can I check whether a word was already an answer?
Yes. Our archive lists every Wordle answer since the first puzzle on June 19, 2021, with its date and puzzle number. Search it by word to see whether your guess has come up before.
What if the hints still don't get me there?
Use the free solver. Enter your green, yellow and gray letters and it lists every word that still fits, so you can pick a smart next guess instead of burning one on a long shot.
Still stuck after four guesses?
