'Wordle' #719, Clues, Answer and Hints for Thursday, June 8 Game

The Wordle puzzle answer for Thursday, June 8 could prove difficult if your first few guesses fail to get the ball rolling.

Thankfully, Newsweek is here to provide a guide with tips and hints on how to solve the addictive brainteaser to keep that streak alive at least one more day.

The game's premise is relatively easy to understand, but what can often be a fun brainteaser can turn into a frustrating challenge.

Players follow a color system to work out a five-letter word and have six attempts to get the correct answer. Green tiles show how many letters are in the word and in the correct position. A yellow tile means the letter is in the word but in the wrong place. A gray tile means that the letter is not in the word at all.

While everyone has their own techniques to solving the problem, some days the same sure-thing strategy you have stood by could result in you failing the addicting daily puzzle.

The game's own developer, Josh Wardle, likes to spend his first few tries eliminating as much of the alphabet as he can.

Whatever your game plan for the addictive puzzle, now and again we could all do with a hint. Check out below for some tips that can help you solve today's game.
