Wordle 409 Answer Today, August 2: The Wordle challenge today is surely going to stump many. Though the word of the day is a known term, not many people would use it in regular conversations. It is a word that is unlikely to come to your mind as the first guess. The combination of letters is easy, however, and there is no rare consonant. There is no threat of multiple options, either.

How To Play Wordle And What Are Its Rules

Wordle is owned by The New York Times, which bought it in January this year from US-based software engineer Josh Wardle who created the word game in 2021. Essentially a guessing game, Wordle was a hit from the word go. Millions got hooked to the free-to-play puzzle instantly. After buying it, NYT did not change any of its features.

Every day, a new challenge is released at midnight across the world, which also means some countries get to see the new word before others do.         

The game has simple rules. One gets six chances to guess the five letter randomly generated word of the day. The squares meant to contain the letters turn green, yellow or grey as you fill them in, letting you know if you are on the right track.  

If the box turns green, the letter is in the right location. A yellow box means your guess is right but the letter is not in the right place. The box turning grey means the letter is incorrect.
