For players seeking assistance with Friday, September 11's Wordle puzzle (number 1910), several hints are available. The daily challenge requires players to guess a five-letter word within six attempts, using feedback from each guess to deduce the correct solution. The word for September 11 is a type of flower.
The puzzle begins with the letter 'A' and ends with the letter 'R'. It contains two vowels and features five unique letters, meaning there are no double letters. A suggested starting word to gain early clues is "crane," which is noted to turn three letters yellow.
Today's Wordle answer is ASTER. An aster is defined as a genus of perennial flowers characterized by star-shaped petals.
Wordle, created by Josh Wardle, was originally a personal project for him and his partner during the pandemic. It was released publicly in October 2021 and quickly gained millions of daily players, largely due to its simple mechanics and the ease of sharing results spoiler-free on social media. The New York Times acquired the game in January 2022.
While players can input any five-letter word, the daily answers are selected from a more common vocabulary. The New York Times occasionally avoids answers that might be politically charged or offensive. For instance, the word "FETUS" was reportedly changed to "SHINE" on March 30th due to its potential sensitivity following news regarding Roe v. Wade.
Players can increase the game's difficulty by enabling "Hard Mode," which requires all revealed letters to be incorporated into subsequent guesses. An "Ultra-Hard" mode further restricts guesses to only those words that are still potential answers based on all previous clues.
For those looking for alternatives or variations, several Wordle-inspired games exist, including Worldle (guessing countries by shape), Waffle (rearranging letters), Moviedle (guessing movies from short clips), and Quordle (solving four Wordles simultaneously). To share results without spoiling the answer, Wordle includes a built-in sharing feature accessible after completing a puzzle. This feature copies a spoiler-free summary of the player's performance, which can then be shared via messages or social media platforms.
