The Daily Riddle: April 24’s Wordle Takes a Mystical Turn

The New York Times’ Wordle puzzle is known for oscillating between frustratingly hard and deceptively easy. Today’s falls somewhere in the middle — not a complete head-scratcher, but certainly not a walk in the park either.

For those clinging to a streak like it’s their last lifeline, the Wordle of the day can feel more like a cryptic crossword than a quick morning game. You're given six chances to guess a five-letter word, and your only tools are colored clues: green for correct letters in the right spot, yellow for letters that belong elsewhere, and grey for dead ends.
