Wordle Remains Popular, Today's Answer 'FLAKE'

Wordle, created by Josh Wardle in 2021 and later acquired by The New York Times in 2022, remains a highly popular word-guessing game. The game challenges players to guess a five-letter word within six attempts, using color-coded feedback to guide them. Research indicates that starting with words like 'ADIEU' or 'AUDIO' may be less effective compared to 'SLATE'. The word game became a global sensation during the COVID-19 pandemic and continues to engage millions of players daily. On August 2, 2024, the Wordle answer was 'FLAKE', a word that can describe both a frosty element and an unreliable person. Despite various strategies, the average number of guesses worldwide stands at around four.
