It didn’t take long to find myself staring at four yellow letters today—or to realise that I had no idea what to do with any of them. Plain old hard work and determination won me today’s game, shuffling the options I had around until there was nowhere else left for them to go. Not a glamorous win, but still a win all the same.

Wordle today: A hint for Thursday, December 5
This word means to bestow some sort of positive benefit on another person or object. A large amount of money or property handed to an institution, for example. More intangible gifts work too: a person furnished with a talent for something could be this as well.

Getting off to a good start witha strong wordlike ARISE—something containing multiple vowels, common consonants, and no repeat letters—is a good tactic. Once you hit Enter, the boxes will show you which letters you’ve got right or wrong. If a box turns ⬛️, it means that letter isn’t in the secret word at all. 🟨 means the letter is in the word, but not in that position. 🟩 means you’ve got the right letter in the right spot.
Your second guess should compliment the starting word, using another “good” word to cover any common letters you missed last time while also trying to avoid any letter you now know for a fact isn’t present in today’s answer. With a bit of luck, you should have some coloured squares to work with and set you on the right path.
After that, it’s just a case of using what you’ve learned to narrow your guesses down to the right word. You have six tries in total and can only use real words (so no filling the boxes with EEEEE to see if there’s an E). Don’t forget letters can repeat too (ex: BOOKS).
