Today's Wordle Hints & Answer - May 17, 2024 (Puzzle #1063)

May 17’s Wordle answer continues the theme from yesterday by presenting a tough challenge for players who aren’t fans of repeating letters. The word also contains two vowels in odd spots, making today’s puzzle even more challenging. However, these complications can be circumvented if players use a different mode in tandem with hints or strategic starting words.

Before you use Wordle’s hard mode, you should be aware that this mode is slightly different from the regular one. Once you find the correct spots of a few letters, you won’t be able to use them in other spots. This will prevent you from using random guesses, which might be slightly frustrating, but it does help you in the long run. Once you know a few letters, you can use hints to solve today’s answer so you don’t have to cheat.
