There is good news and bad news for Wordle fans on March 25th. The good news is that it’s Friday and there’s a whole new Wordle puzzle for fans to solve. However, the bad news is that Wordle 279 is one of the most challenging puzzles we’ve encountered in recent weeks. Fortunately, Express Online is here to help, thanks to three spoiler-free tips and guides at the bottom of the page. Good luck, and remember to come back tomorrow for the next batch of clues.
If you’re new to Wordle and aren’t quite sure how it all works, here’s a little refresher.
The goal of Wordle is to discover a five-letter word in just six attempts. If you get it wrong and you will have to wait for a new puzzle to come the next day.
If you want to solve it in as few attempts as possible, you will need to pay attention to the color of the tiles.
If the color of the square turns gray, the letter will not appear in the word you are guessing. If the tile turns yellow, then the letter you guessed is in the word, and not in the correct position. If the tile turns green, then the letter is in the word and in the right place.
The app keeps track of your stats, showing how many correct answers you’ve managed, and how fast you can solve the puzzle of the day – something that can be shared on social media for bragging rights.
