Wordle players across the globe faced puzzle #1,314 on January 23, 2025, with the answer leaving some players scratching their heads. The solution was revealed to be 'UPPER', but if you’re still wrestling with today’s challenge, don’t worry; we’ve got all the hints you need!
Originally created by software engineer Josh Wardle, Wordle was developed as a personal game for him and his girlfriend. Little did they know, it would take off spectacularly once it was released online to the public in October 2021. Less than a year later, the game’s irresistible charm caught the attention of The New York Times, which purchased it for millions.
Wordle has since become not just popular among everyday players but also celebrities. Even Hollywood stars like Carol Burnett and Allison Janney share their scores daily, showcasing the game's widespread appeal. “Allison and I, we Wordle,” Burnett shared with enthusiasm back in April 2023.
For those who are newcomers, here’s the rundown: players have six attempts to guess the day's five-letter word, using color-coded hints to narrow down their possibilities. Correct letters are highlighted green, letters found elsewhere are yellow, and gray indicates letters not present. It’s simple but engaging.
On January 23, players received some help with clues like: the word has two vowels, two consonants are the same, and the word is associated with something high. It’s always nice when players can lean on hints during challenging puzzles!
The secrets don’t end there. The best starting words to kick off the game include 'CRANE', 'ADIEU', and 'STARE', as recommended by the Times’ WordleBot. These efficient options can set players up for success right from the start. And don’t forget about past answers! Players who missed previous days can catch up easily, with past solutions including 'REACH', 'ICING', and 'SQUID'.
Now, let’s look forward to January 24. Expectations run high, and the excitement captures everyone within the Wordle community. Unfortunately, we can only speculate on what the word could be as the game updates daily at midnight local time, presenting fresh challenges and more chances to extend your winning streak.
Meanwhile, fans of the word game can enjoy similar competitions like Connections, created by the Times, which also offers daily hints for excited solvers. Wordle certainly isn’t alone in capturing our hearts and minds.
For tomorrow’s Wordle, players can look forward to another five-letter challenge, and with this article guiding them, they’ll be well-prepared. Whether you breeze through puzzles or need to scratch your head and think it out, Wordle guarantees each day is filled with fun and excitement.
