Questions
When do the hints change?
Shortly after midnight Eastern time, when the new Wordle goes live in New York. If you play in a later time zone and are still on the previous puzzle, its hints stay on this page until that day is over everywhere.
Do the hints give the answer away?
Not unless you want them to. Every hint and the answer are hidden until you tap them, so you can stop after one.
Where can I see yesterday's answer?
Once a puzzle is over in every US time zone it moves to our past answers page, with every answer since #0.
