'Wordle' today: Get the answer, hints on June 6

Morning Wordlers! Another day, another Wordle, and as always, we're here to help out. Scroll down for today's clues and a handy spoiler, or keep reading for some strategies to help you every day.

Some background: Wordle was originally created by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner, but soon went mega-viral. Thousands of people around the globe now play this game each day, and fans have even created alternate Wordle versions inspired by the original. This includes battle royale format Squabble, music identification game Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that make you guess multiple words at once. 

In fact, the word puzzle game has proven so popular that the New York Times eventually bought it, and TikTok creators livestream themselves playing.

Not the day you're after? Here's the Wordle answer for June 5.

What's the best Wordle starting word?

We have some ideas to help you select the perfect opening. A key consideration is choosing a word with at least two different vowels in it, plus a few common consonants such as T, S, or N — and if you choose one that hasn't been any day's answer yet, you might even snag the elusive one-guess win.

What happened to the Wordle archive?

One Wordle a day is all well and good, but sometimes it just isn't enough. While you could once play the entire archive of past puzzles, the archive was taken down at the request of the New York Times, according to the site.

Is Wordle getting harder?

If you've been finding Wordle too easy, there is a Hard Mode you can switch on to give yourself more of a challenge. But in general, we can assure you that Wordle isn't getting harder. 

Why are there two different Wordle answers some days?

Half the fun of Wordle is that everyone's trying to solve the exact same puzzle by finding the exact same word, no matter where you're playing from. However, occasionally the game will accept two different correct solutions on the same day. This aberration is due to changes the New York Times made to the original word list and order after it acquired Wordle earlier this year. Whenever this happens, we'll let you know both answers.
