ByAmanda Yeo on
It's Wordle time! It's a new day, which means there's a new word puzzle for you to take on. Working it out by yourself is always fun, but if you get stuck, here are some tips and hints to help you figure out the solution.
If you prefer to cut to the chase, skip to the end of this article for the answer to May 26's Wordle revealed. For those of you who'd rather work out today's Wordle answer yourself, keep reading for a few tips, clues, and strategies to assist you.
Wordle was originally created by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner, but soon spread internationally. Thousands of people around the globe now play this game each day, and fans have even created alternate Wordle versions inspired by the original. This includes battle royale Squabble, music identification game Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that make you guess multiple words at once.
In fact, the word puzzle game has proved so popular that the New York Times eventually bought it, and TikTok creators livestream themselves playing.
Not the day you're after? Here's the Wordle answer for May 25.
