Sign in to your ScreenRant account Today's Wordle doesn't hide its structure behind repetition or rare letters, but the puzzle could be one of many possible answers. This alone makes the game slightly trickier, albeit in a different way than past days. To keep your streak alive, you'll need to be ready to make a few mistakes, and look for the right clues to guide you forward. Many veterans prefer to use Wordle’s hard mode as it prevents them from using random guesses and is a bit more strategic. This mode doesn’t let players reuse confirmed letters in other spots, which will prevent you from wasting your attempts on random words. Using this mode in tandem with some hints may just let you solve today’s Wordle without cheating.
