Wordle Today #620 Hints and Answer for Wednesday, March 1 Brainteaser

It's been 17 months since Wordle was first released to the public, in October 2021, yet the puzzle shows few signs of losing its extraordinary popularity.

Wordle was created during coronavirus lockdown by Josh Wardle, a New York-based software engineer who designed the game to be "fun" and "playful."

Wardle sold Wordle to the New York Times in January 2022, though it remains free to play.

Speaking to Newsweek Erhan Aslan, who teaches applied linguistics at the University of Reading in the U.K., gave some advice on playing the game.

He commented: "One thing that I think is important in this game is the starting word chosen. Starting off with words that include commonly used vowels (for example, e and a), consonants (such as r and t) and sound sequences might be helpful. Choosing a word that starts with q, z, j, or x, for instance, may not be the best choice.

"As you get more feedback after a few guesses, users need to draw on some knowledge of phonics to narrow down or eliminate some words that they might be thinking. For example, if the second letter of the target word is L (indicated by green) and the player feels that the word starts with a consonant, they will need to know that there are only a few consonant cluster possibilities (such as bl, cl, fl, gl, pl, sl)."
