Wordle 417 Answer Today, August 10: Players may not find today's Wordle challenge easy. The word of the day is not an unfamilar term, but it's not used too often in regular conersations. It has only one vowel, which keeps it from becoming a starter word. While the combination of letters is easy to guess, you may face the problem of multiple options. There are quite a few words with similar spellings. Keep reading if you need more hints to solve Wordle 417.


How To Play Wordle And What Are Its Rules


Wordle, created by US-based software engineer Josh Wardle last year, has completed a year of its existence. The word game is now owned by The New York Times, which bought it from Wardle in January this year. Free-to-play Wordle is essentially a guessing game, and has been a hit from the beginning. NYT did not bring any changes to its features after the takeover.


Every day, rather midnight, a new challenge is released across the world. This means some countries get to see the new five-letter word before others do. 


The rules are simple. A player gets six chances to guess the randomly generated word of the day. The squares meant to contain the letters turn green, yellow or grey depending on the status of the letters you enter, and the colours of the box let you know if you are on the right track or wrong.  


If the box turns green, the letter is in the right position. A yellow box means the word contains this letter but you have placed it wrong. A grey box means the letter is incorrect.
