Today’s “Wordle” answer—How to solve Saturday March 19 word puzzle

Puzzle game Wordle continues to be a worldwide hit but, as always, people may be struggling to guess today’s answer.

The game in which users have to guess a five-letter word and are told if they have the correct letters by way of green and yellow grids, has exploded in popularity in a relatively short amount of time.

In October 2021 the game created by Josh Wardle had only 90 users. By January 2022, it had 300,000 daily users and now is reported to have 45 million unique users a month.

Speaking to Time after he sold the game to The New York Times for what is believed to be a seven-figure sum, Wardle explained that his intention when creating Wordle was never to make money.

“The goal was to make a game that my partner would enjoy playing,” Wardle said.

“What’s interesting is, people ask me all the time about the monetization stuff. Like, ‘You could put ads on it, you could do premium.’ And I don’t know, maybe I’m an idiot. None of that really appeals to me. I think because I started with the intention of not doing it, it’s been easy to say no. If I’d been trying to make a viral game I think it would be very different.”

Part of the fun of Wordle is that each user may have their own strategy on how to guess the word, and can even change it each day.

Some may like to start by guessing a five-letter word with as many vowels as possible, whereas others may pick words with lots of commonly used consonants such as T, R or S.
