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 #709) – clue #1 – Vowels

How many vowels does today’s Wordle have?

Wordle today has three vowels*.

* 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 #709) – clue #2 – first letter

What letter does today’s Wordle begin with?

The first letter in today’s Wordle answer is M.

M is a middling letter when it comes to starting a word. It sits 10th in the rankings, with 107 occurrences in the 2,309 answers.

Wordle hints (game #709) – clue #3 – repeated letters

Does today’s Wordle have any repeated letters?

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 #709) – clue #4 – ending letter

What letter does today’s Wordle end with?

The last letter in today’s Wordle is E.

E is the most common letter to end a Wordle answer by far. That’s one of the reasons why many of the best start words, including SLATE, CRANE, CRATE and STARE, all end with one.

Today’s Wordle answer (game #709) is… MOUSE.

This is one of those Wordle answers that you might have ended up guessing blindly after finding three or four of the letters. It looks obvious once you have the structure in place, but there are a surprising number of words that have the format -OUSE and many more still that have -O-SE.

For instance, a look at WordleBot after the game showed me that many people guessed the likes of HOUSE, LOUSE, ROUSE and DOUSE at various stages, plus MOOSE (which has actually been a past Wordle answer), POISE and POSSE.

The multitude of similar answers is evident from the results for the best Wordle starting words today. SLATE, WordleBot’s top pick, left 32 possible solutions and my own choice, STARE, resulted in 24. Not too high, but not super-low either. And they were among the luckiest options; the likes of CRANE (126), SLANT (109) and TRACE (127) were all much higher.

That said, MOUSE is not an incredibly difficult Wordle answer to find. WordleBot says it has an average score of 3.7, which places it quite a way below most recent games. In fact, by that measure it’s the easiest since CLERK last Tuesday.  

We’ve been here before, of course. As I mentioned above, MOOSE was a previous answer, on 1 March this year (game #620). As soon as I saw the yellow S and green E for my first guess, I recalled that game and that I’d followed it up with NOISE. WordleBot had berated me for that, suggesting that CLOUD would have been better, so I heeded its advice today and played that second time round. And it worked. I was rewarded with yellow O and U, and my 24 possible solutions were reduced to just two.

These were of course MOUSE and HOUSE. So I had yet another 50/50 in front of me. I seem to be getting a lot of these wrong at the moment and today was no exception; I went for the latter, but guessed wrong and had to settle for a 4/6.

Yesterday’s Wordle hints (game #708)

  • Wordle yesterday had one vowel.
  • The first letter in yesterday’s Wordle answer was S.

Yesterday’s Wordle answer (game #708)

Yesterday’s Wordle answer (game #708) was… SKIMP.

This was a nice, straightforward Wordle for me after my travails on Saturday, when I scored a 6/6. But that said, SKIMP is not necessarily an easy word to find. WordleBot says it has an average score of 4.1, keeping it on the slightly trickier side of things.

The letters are certainly a mixed bag. S is incredibly common at the start of a Wordle answer – one of the reasons why so many of the best Wordle starting words, such as SLATE, SLANT and STARE, begin with it – and I is a very common letter in general, as are all of the vowels with the possible exception of U. But K is not common in general, or certainly not at the end of an answer, while M and P are both middling letters.

No start words were particularly helpful today; my favorite, STARE, left 81 possible solutions and the likes of SLATE (69) and CRANE (357) were no better really. That meant my second guess had to work very hard… and I got lucky with my choice.

That word was PYLON, an option I picked because it includes several letters that regularly follow an S, in L, P and N. It also includes a Y, which was useful as a few of the answers I’d identified ended in that letter: SILLY, SILKY, SULKY, SHOWY, SLIMY, SHYLY, SPICY and so on.

There was logic in my choice, then, and WordleBot liked it well enough, awarding me 88/99 for skill – though its own pick was PLINK.

Not that it mattered; either of those two words would have brought down my possible answers list from 81 to just two. In my case those were SKIMP and SPIFF, and there was never any doubt in my mind as to which of the two I’d play. I typed in those five letters and was rewarded with a 3/6 to help offset Saturday’s sixer.

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.
