Today's Wordle Hints & Answer - April 22, 2024 (Puzzle #1038)

April 22’s Wordle answer shouldn’t be too complicated to solve, but players should still exercise caution in their first few attempts. Since the answer has two vowels, it could get complicated if players keep using random guesses and waste their first few attempts. But if you use some hints or a different mode, you might have an upper hand from the very first attempt.

We recommend using Wordle’s hard mode, as it’s the perfect way to discover multiple vowels and repeat letters. Since you have only six attempts, this mode will prevent you from making random guesses and force you to be more strategic. Once you have discovered a letter’s correct position, you cannot use it in other spots.
