Wordle 551 Answer Today, December 22: The Wordle challenge today could be a tricky one. Though the word of the day is a known one and is used in regular conversations, the spelling is not very common. It has one absolutely rare consonant, only one vowel and a duplicate letter too — a combination not considered ideal by players. However, they should be able to crack the puzzle easily if they get the vowels and their placements right in the first couple of moves. It is not a good starter word, and the combination of letters won't be very easy to guess. But rest assured, you won't face the threat of multiple options. Do you need more help to solve Wordle 551?

How To Play Wordle And What Are Its Rules


Wordle completed a year in June 2022, and has become more challenging now. The guessing game created by US-based software engineer Josh Wardle last year was an instant hit, with players finding the brain exercise exciting. The New York Times bought the game in January 2022. 


Wordle rules are simple. You have six chances to guess the five-letter randomly-generated word, which is released every midnight. The small squares where you fill in the letters turn green, yellow or grey, suggesting if you are right. 


A green box means the letter is in the right location.


If the box turns yellow, it means your guess is right but the letter is not in the right place.


A grey box means the letter is incorrect.
