SPOILER WARNING: Wordle hints and today’s answer are below, so don’t read on if you don’t want to see them.
Wordle hints (game #776) – clue #1 – Vowels
How many vowels does today’s Wordle have?
• Wordle today has a vowel in one place*.
* Note that by vowel we mean the five standard vowels (A, E, I, O, U), not Y (which is sometimes counted as a vowel too).
Wordle hints (game #776) – clue #2 – first letter
What letter does today’s Wordle begin with?
• The first letter in today’s Wordle answer is C.
C is a very common starting letter in Wordle – in fact, it’s the second most common of all, behind only S.
• There are no repeated letters in today’s Wordle.
Repeated letters are quite common in the game, with 748 of the 2,309 Wordle answers containing one. However, it’s still more likely that a Wordle doesn’t have one.
Wordle hints (game #776) – clue #4 – ending letter
What letter does today’s Wordle end with?
• The last letter in today’s Wordle is T.
T is a very common letter to end a Wordle answer – in fact only E and Y are more likely in that position.

Today’s Wordle answer (game #776) is… CHART.
This is all getting a little silly now. I don’t know whether the NYT is actively curating games or simply letting answers play out in the order in which Josh Wardle originally set them up, but I think we’ve now reached the stage where it should take an active role in switching things up.
In the past 13 games, only two Wordle answers have had an average score of above 4.0, the figure above which things start to get slightly harder. Five of those 13 games have been below 3.5. Today’s is at just 3.3, only slightly higher than yesterday’s 3.2!
If the games are random, then fine, that’s just the way it goes. But it sure does make for a slightly dull experience.
Today, I scored another 2/6 – my fourth in those 13 games. And today, that owed a lot to my choice of the best Wordle starting words.
STARE, which has long been my pick, left me just four possible solutions to choose from. And that wasn’t even the best of them – far from it. CARTE and CARET were at two. TRACE and CRATE left just one!
If you didn’t begin with one of those, maybe it was a little tougher – but probably not much. Four of the letters are very common, although H is a bit less so. Even there, though, it’s often paired with the C, so once you had one you’ll have had an advantage in finding the other. There are no repeated letters. No letters in unusual places. No uncommon letters such as Q or Z. And the word itself is far more widely used than something like BEGET.
I was left with a choice of CHART, APART, QUART and TIARA. I had a vague recollection that TIARA and QUART might have been past Wordle answers (they have) so focused on CHART and APART. I picked the former purely because it didn’t contain a (less common) repeated letter and scored my latest 2/6 in what has been a very easy run. Fingers crossed for a harder weekend.
In a different time zone where it’s still Thursday? Don’t worry – I can give you some clues for Wordle #775, too.

Yesterday’s Wordle answer is a celebration.

Yesterday’s Wordle answer (game #775) was… PARTY.
According to WordleBot, today’s puzzle is the easiest in more than a week. Easier than ETHOS (which I scored a 2/6 on), easier than BATHE (ditto), easier than STYLE (which had an average score of only 3.4). People are, apparently, completing PARTY in a mere 3.2 guesses – making it the joint-second-easiest this year.
Yet somehow, I contrived to score just a 4/6 on it. Bah!
I’m actually a little baffled as to why it was quite so easy, unless lots of people just got very lucky. And that may well be the case; WordleBot says the average luck score today was 66/99, compared to 47 yesterday and 58 on Tuesday, for instance. Or maybe I just played badly.
PARTY does have some of the hallmarks of an easyish game: five common letters, particularly common starting and ending letters (P is fifth, Y is second) and no repeats. Plus, a couple of the best Wordle starting words made a really big dent in the number of possible answers – CRATE left just four and CARTE only two. But it seemed to me at least that there were lots of ways to play this one, and I struggled to find any green letters until quite late on.
My first guess, STARE, fared reasonably well: three yellow letters. But my second, TRIAL, merely moved those three around. WordleBot tends to prefer repeating at least one letter when it has multiple yellows, and instead preferred TAROT for the second guess.
I took the same approach for #3, playing RATTY – and finally made progress. That confirmed the A, T and Y, and left me with only two options: WARTY and PARTY. While it could have been the former, the latter always seemed like a much more likely Wordle answer, so I played that and scored a slightly frustrating 4/6.

What is Wordle?
If you’re on this page then you almost certainly know what Wordle is already, and indeed have probably been playing it for a while. And even if you’ve not been playing it, you must surely have heard of it by now, because it’s the viral word game phenomenon that took the world by storm last year and is still going strong in 2023.
We’ve got a full guide to the game in our What is Wordle page, but if you just want a refresher then here are the basics.
What is Wordle?
Wordle challenges you to guess a new five-letter word each day. You get six guesses, with each one revealing a little more information. If one of the letters in your guess is in the answer and in the right place, it turns green. If it’s in the answer but in the wrong place, it turns yellow. And if it’s not in the answer at all it turns gray. Simple, eh?
It’s played online via the Wordle website or the New York Times’ Crossword app (iOS / Android), and is entirely free.
Crucially, the answer is the same for everyone each day, meaning that you’re competing against the rest of the world, rather than just against yourself or the game. The puzzle then resets each day at midnight in your local time, giving you a new challenge, and the chance to extend your streak.
What are the Wordle rules?
The rules of Wordle are pretty straightforward, but with a couple of curveballs thrown in for good measure.
1. Letters that are in the answer and in the right place turn green.
2. Letters that are in the answer but in the wrong place turn yellow.
3. Letters that are not in the answer turn gray.
4. Answers are never plural.
5. Letters can appear more than once. So if your guess includes two of one letter, they may both turn yellow, both turn green, or one could be yellow and the other green.
6. Each guess must be a valid word in Wordle’s dictionary. You can’t guess ABCDE, for instance.
7. You do not have to include correct letters in subsequent guesses unless you play on Hard mode.
8. You have six guesses to solve the Wordle.
9. You must complete the daily Wordle before midnight in your timezone.
10. All answers are drawn from Wordle’s list of 2,309 solutions. However…
11. Wordle will accept a wider pool of words as guesses – some 10,000 of them. For instance, you can guess a plural such as WORDS. It definitely won’t be right (see point 4 above), but Wordle will accept it as a guess.
