'Wordle' #369 Clues: Answer Thursday, June 23 Word Puzzle With These Hints

Wordle is a daily word puzzle that has kept players on their toes for nearly a year, with fans hoping to keep their streak by guessing a five-letter word in six attempts.

The addictive game became an internet sensation after its creator, Josh Wardle, a software engineer, completed it during the COVID lockdown after first working on it in 2013. The name of the game is a pun of its creator's name, who sold Wordle to The New York Times in February.

The rules of Wordle are simple: players must uncover one randomly generated five-letter word in just six attempts.

To play, you need to follow the game's color-coded grid system, which shows you how close you are to guessing the word of the day, depending on what color the tiles turn after you input a word as part of your six attempts.

A letter that's in the right position will turn a tile green, while a letter that is included in the answer, but isn't in the correct position, will turn yellow. Finally, the tile will remain gray if you select a letter that is incorrect altogether, meaning that it isn't part of the Wordle of the day at all.

After completing the game, a box appears that players can share on social media. It shows how many tries it took to solve the word of the day.

The daily Wordle for June 23 is a tricky one to crack, and will most certainly require a few hints. Newsweek has put together five clues to nudge players in the right direction.
