Wordle 493 Answer Today, October 25: The Wordle challenge today is a common word, but may prove to be tricky. Players may not find it very easy to crack this one. We often use the word in our daily conversations, but since it contains a duplicate letter and only one vowel, it's not the kind of word that comes to your mind as the first guess. The combination of letters is easy to guess if you get two to three letters correct in the first two attempts. The problem of multiple options won't be much of a threat.

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.
