Fortunately, Express Online is here to help, with a selection of spoiler-free hints and clues to ensure you arrive upon the correct answer.

There’s a pretty good chance you already know how to play Wordle, but just in case you’re new to the game, here’s how the daily puzzle works.
The aim of Wordle is to figure out a five letter word in just six attempts. Get it wrong and you’ll have to wait until the next day for a new Wordle puzzle.
In order to get the right answer, you’ll need to pay attention to the colour of the tiles, which will show up in one of three colours.
If the tile turns grey, the letter does not appear in the word you are guessing. If the tile turns yellow, the letter you guessed is in the word, just not in the correct position. If the tile turns green, the letter is in the word and in the right place.
The app keeps track of your statistics, showing the number of correct answers you’ve managed, and how quickly you were able to solve today’s puzzle – something which can be shared on social media for bragging rights.
