Are you struggling to solve Monday's Wordle puzzle? Well, don't worry because Newsweek is here with a helping hand.
The popular game's premise is simple enough; players have to follow a color system to work out a five-letter word within six guesses.
Green tiles show letters that 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.
Many players have strategies that they stand by but it can be important to be flexible in your approach to solving the addictive brainteaser.
The game's creator, New York-based developer Josh Wardle, spoke to Newsweek in 2022 and explained he often needs multiple tries to get the correct answer.
"[My partner] and I play it on the couch together each morning. She will consistently get it in three goes, which is way, way better than I can ever hope to achieve. I normally need at least four or five attempts," he said
He also spoke about his thinking behind creating the rules for the game.
"I tested different word lengths and experimented with the number of tries that players were allowed," Wardle said.
"Through that process of refinement, I figured out that five letters and six tries was the ideal sweet spot. It's just limited enough to feel challenging and to make you think, but most of the time people still manage to solve it. So, you feel a real sense of real accomplishment," he said.
