Tuesday Word is not the easiest, with a combination of letters that some players may find difficult to convert into the winning word.

The beloved word quiz strikes just the right balance when it comes to skill level: not easy enough to bore us, but not hard enough to scare us either. And there’s no shame in struggling to crack one of the brainteasers; its creator, Josh Wardle, has previously revealed that he himself is “not very good at it”.

The New York City-based software engineer developed the game in 2021 as a way to entertain his partner during the coronavirus lockdowns, and he shared Newsweek that they sit on the couch together every morning and play.

“She will consistently make it in three takes, which is, way better than I can ever hope to achieve,” he said. “It usually takes me at least four or five tries.” “I’m afraid I’m not really the best,” he admitted.

So how does Wordle work?

The game asks users to guess a hidden five-letter word, and for that they only have to guess six times.

The secret word is hidden behind tiles and after each guess the colors show what you got wrong and what you got right. If the letter is gray, it means it is not part of the secret word and can be discarded. Yellow tiles indicate that the letter is in the word, but it is in the wrong place. And then there is the holy grail of tiles, the green, which means that the letter is correct and in the right place.

There is only one Word a day, but it resets every night at midnight, so with each new morning comes a new crack in the puzzle.
