Wordle 426

Wordle 426 Answer Today, August 19: The Wordle challenge today is a fairly known word and should not be difficult to crack, though it may not be used too commonly in regular conversations. This, however, is not an ideal starter word because it has only one vowel and players usually tend to start with a vowel-heavy word. The combination of letters is not very common, and there is at least one rare consonant, but you are not going to encounter the threat of multiple options. Do you need more hints to solve Wordle 426? Read on.

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.
