Today’s Wordle hints for WordleBot game #988 is STATE.

WordleBot claims that STATE is difficult with an average score of 4.3, which indicates that many people would have gotten either 3/6 or 5/6 today.

Choosing the starting word was paramount in today’s game. Some common starting words like SLATE or STARE reduced options and thus made it easier for players. However, guessing the right word early on was trickier. For instance, my first guess was ALLAY which did not help much and left me with many possible words to choose from.

I thereafter tried CRATE after some attempts; it gave me three green letters and narrowed down my choices to four words only. Instead of trying to guess at this point, I chose STONK which made sure I would get the answer by the fourth attempt. On its part, WordleBot guessed SPATE and SKATE before solving STATE on its fifth attempt. That didn’t work out too well for ‘Bot though.
