Wordle 248: Tips for Today’s Word Puzzle (2/22/22)

Wordle 248 is quite easy.

That is, compared to some of the words recently used in the New York Times puzzle.

Wordle players get six tries to find the five-letter word of the day. We have some tips to help you solve today’s puzzle.

Wordle is the addictive word game that has taken social media by storm. Chances are you’ve seen countless combinations of yellow and green squares popping up on social media when people share their results. But what does all this mean?

If a user-guessed word has a letter that is in the word of the day, but not in the correct order, the mailbox turns yellow. If any letters are incorrect and not included in the last word, the box turns gray. But, if one of the guessed letters is in the word and is in the correct position, the box turns green.

So anyway, let’s get to some tips for today, if you need them.

• The five letters are in the 10 most common in the English language.
