'Wordle' Today #634 Hints, Tips and Answer for Wednesday, March 15 Game

Well over a year after it was first released to the public, in October 2021, word puzzle Wordle is showing few signs of losing its astonishing appeal across the English speaking world.

The game was invented during the coronavirus lockdown by Josh Wardle, a New York-based software developer.

Speaking to Newsweek in January 2022 Wardle gave some advice to those trying to complete his puzzles. He said: "One thing I will say is that a lot of people tend to think that the game is just about finding those green and gold letters. If you get those, then you theoretically have the information you need, but you don't want to get too hung up on that.

"Even when you have most of the letters, it's still worth using a couple of tries to just narrow down the options further. It's often just as important to learn what letters aren't in a word. That information can actually be more powerful in a lot of ways, and you don't necessarily realize it at first."

Later that same month, Wordle was purchased by the New York Times, for an undisclosed seven-figure sum.

The success of Wordle helped inspire several other popular online puzzles, including Nerdle for math fans and Worldle for those who want to test their geographical knowledge.

The answer to today's puzzle will be revealed at the end of this article, so scroll down with caution if you want to work it out for yourself.
