We’ve got the answer to today’sWordleready to go if you need a hand—don’t worry about it, everyone has off days. And if you don’t, then we’ve still got plenty of ways to help you out. Our tips can give your puzzling solving routine a fresh angle, and our clue for the January 7 (1298) game is ready to cut through all the noise and help get you over the final hurdle.

Thanks to one stupid mistake (just the one, honest) and a weird blind spot I really should’ve poked and prodded harder than I did, today’s Wordle took twice as long to solve as it needed to. I’m annoyed, and it’s all my own fault. But I did at least stumble and flounder my way to the right word eventually, so that probably counts for something. I don’t think Wordle minds, so maybe I shouldn’t either.

Wordle help: 3 tips for beating Wordle every day

Looking to extend your Wordle winning streak? Perhaps you’ve just started playing the popular daily puzzle game and are looking for some pointers. Whatever the reason you’re here, these quick tips can help push you in the right direction:

There’s no racing against the clock with Wordle so you don’t need to rush for the answer.

Today’s Wordle being played on a phone

Wordle gives you six rows of five boxes each day, and it’s up to you to work out which five-letter word is hiding among them to win the popular daily puzzle.

It’s usually a good plan tostart with a strong wordlike ALERT—or any other word with a good mix of common consonants and multiple vowels—and you should be off to a flying start, with a little luck anyway. You should also avoid starting words with repeating letters, so you don’t waste the chance to confirm or eliminate an extra letter. Once you hit Enter, you’ll see 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 first, using another “good” word to cover any common letters you might have missed on the first row—just don’t forget to leave out any letter you now know for a fact isn’t present in today’s answer. After that, it’s just a case of using what you’ve learned to narrow your guesses down to the correct word. You have six tries in total and can only use real words and don’t forget letters can repeat too (eg: BOOKS).
