HINTS TO HELP YOU SOLVE TODAY’S WORDLE ANSWER

Wordle hint and clues for today (#1196, September 27)

I began, as ever, with ORATE, which contains all five of the most common Wordle letters. It was pretty effective, turning ‘A’ yellow and ‘T’ green, meaning that just 23 possible answers were left, according to Wordle Ai.

Absolutely! Here’s how you can approach solving the Wordle:

Start with Common Letters: Use words that contain frequently used letters in English, like E, A, R, T, and S.
Analyze the Feedback: After each guess, pay attention to the color feedback:
- Green means the letter is correct and in the right position.
- Yellow means the letter is correct but in the wrong position.
- Gray means the letter is not in the word at all.
Use Clues Wisely: Based on the clues you have (like the number of vowels, repeated letters, etc.), think of words that fit those criteria.
Eliminate Options: Keep track of the letters you’ve confirmed as not being in the word, and avoid using them in future guesses.
Narrow Down: After a couple of guesses, you should have a clearer idea of what letters are possible. Start forming words that fit all the clues and the feedback.

What is the Wordle solution for game #1,196 today?

Reading this in a different time zone? The Wordle answer for game #1,196 was FAITH.

Hello, Wordle enthusiasts! This one was definitely tricky. I managed to solve it in three moves, but if you could see the stopwatch for how long it took me to make that final guess, you’d realize it wasn’t smooth sailing at all.

I started, as usual, with ORATE, which includes all five of the most common letters in Wordle. It was quite effective, revealing ‘A’ as yellow and ‘T’ as green, leaving just 23 possible answers, according to WordleBot*.

However, some of WordleBot’s top starting words still had me stumped. For example, using PLATE leaves 20 possible answers, while CARTE narrows it down to 16. If you played TRAIN, only eight options would remain.
