VERSE

Today’s Wordle definition

And here’s what it means, according to our good friend ChatGPT:

A verse can have a few different meanings depending on the context:

  1. In poetry and songs: A verse is a line or group of lines that form a division within a poem or song, often following a specific pattern or structure. Verses are typically used to build upon the theme or narrative.

  2. In the Bible or other religious texts: A verse refers to a specific numbered division of a chapter. For example, a verse in the Bible could be cited as “John 3:16.”

  3. In literature: A verse can also be any written or spoken material that is composed in a rhythmic, often metrical form, as opposed to prose.

In general, verses help organize text, creating rhythm or structure in a poem, song, or religious writing.

Tips for tomorrow’s Wordle

It might seem like Wordle is all luck, but there are a few good practices you can use to help get as many clues as possible in just a few guesses, making it that much more likely you can figure out the final word before you run out of tries. The most important guess is your first, and the trick is to load up on vowels (A, E, I, O, and U).

Some popular starting words people have had good luck with are “adieu,” “media,” “arise,” and “radio.” Just make sure not to pick a word with double letters, or you’re wasting precious guesses. The aim here is to try to figure out which vowels the mystery word contains, then layer in common consonants and close in from there.

Your second word, assuming that the first one gave you a good jumping-off point, should begin to lean more heavily on common consonants like R, S, and T. More good ones here we’ve seen are “stern,” “irate,” and “atone.” You never want to reuse any letters from a prior round that showed up as gray — you know they aren’t in the word.

Now that’s all solved and the definition is taken care of, and you’re armed with some tips to crush tomorrow’s Wordle, here are some games like Wordle you can try today.

The best Wordle starting words, tips, and tricks for beginners
Woman playing Wordle on her smartphone.

Wordle is a worldwide phenomenon, and though it's no longer quite the obsession it was in 2022, it's still a daily delight of many people's mornings. Wordle's genius is that it is simple to understand but fiendishly difficult to master, and anyone can pick it up and start playing in a very brief time. You can learn to play Wordle easily as all you need to do is guess a particular five letter word, but getting it right every time is hard as there are only six attempts to guess the word each day. If you're struggling to master this tricky puzzle, then try out our tips for the best starting words to maximize your chances of becoming a Wordle master.
How to play Wordle
If you're brand new to this world of Wordle, here's a brief rundown of how the game works. Every day, a new five-letter world is chosen that is the same for everyone playing that day. Your challenge is to type in five-letter words to try and figure out what the day's word is. Every letter in the word you guess will be given a color: Green means you guessed the correct letter, and it is in the correct spot; yellow means that letter is in the answer but not in the right spot; and gray letters are not in the word at all. Each guess must be a dictionary word, so you can't just throw in five random letters.

Since everyone playing gets the same word each day, when the game prompts you to share your results, it will only show the colors of how you did in a grid so no one is spoiled on the day's word. The faster you guess the entire word, the more impressive!
