Today’s Wordle answer (game #751)
Today’s Wordle answer (game #751) is… FOLLY.
The first thing to say here is that no, I didn’t play this one well.
The second thing is that in my defence, it is a difficult Wordle. In fact, WordleBot gives it an average score of 4.7, which makes it the joint seventh hardest (along with BORAX) so far in 2023.
Even so, I should have done a lot better. Things didn’t get off to a good start, with STARE – my choice of the best Wordle starting words – leaving me with exactly zero letters and still 319 possible solutions. It got a little better when CLOUD gave me a yellow L and O, but that still left 21 options.
So I began hunting. First I played JOWLY, because I figured the answer probably ended LY and this also allowed me to include a couple of the least common consonants, in case they featured among the answer (it could have been LOWLY or JOLLY, for instance). But that was misguided thinking; as WordleBot told me afterwards, I’d have been better going in with FOLLY or HOLLY or something at that stage to confirm the format.
Still, JOWLY did give me some more info – three green letters – and reduced the choices to six. But five of those six differed only by the first letter (MOLLY, HOLLY, FOLLY, GOLLY and LOLLY), with the outlier being NOBLY. With only three guesses left, I couldn’t blindly guess -OLLY words without risking a failure.
So instead I played LAUGH; this would cover off LOLLY, GOLLY and HOLLY. That worked, but I still had three left. What I should have done now is to have played FOLLY; it was by the far the most likely answer of the three remaining, and even if it was wrong it would have confirmed what the answer really was; I might have scored a 5/6, and couldn’t do worse than a 6/6. But I wasn’t thinking straight by this stage and instead guessed FUNNY. This confirmed the F at the start and gave me FOLLY next go, but really it was all a bit of a mess.

Yesterday’s Wordle hints (game #750)
In a different time zone where it’s still Sunday? Don’t worry – I can give you some clues for Wordle #750, too.
- Wordle yesterday had vowels in two places.
- The first letter in yesterday’s Wordle answer was E.
- There was one repeated letter in yesterday’s Wordle.
- The last letter in yesterday’s Wordle was R.
- Yesterday’s Wordle answer can come in.
Yesterday’s Wordle answer (game #750)
Yesterday’s Wordle answer (game #750) was… ENTER.
You wait nine days for an ER and then, like London buses, two turn up in a row. Unlike yesterday’s COWER (see below), though, this is a relatively straightforward one to solve, at least as far as ER puzzles go.
That said, it still has an average score of 4.0 according to WordleBot, so it’s not exactly easy either. No ER game is that, and this one has a repeated letter too. E is the most common of all repeated letters, yes – it occurs twice in 172 of Wordle’s original 2,309 original answers – but finding a double always complicates things.
On the plus side, some of the best Wordle starting words were were a little more helpful today than they were yesterday. Mine, STARE, left me with 40 possible solutions – compared to 181 yesterday – while SLANT (34) was also a lot lower than for COWER. TRACE (36) and CRANE (34) were all in the same ballpark.
Things got much better very quickly for me. With yellow T, E and R to play with, I decided to go for INTER. WordleBot described it as “solid” and “lucky”. I think it’s being a little unfair with the former, but the latter is fair enough – it gave me four green letters and left me with just one more possible solution!
That was ENTER, and I duly played it next for a trouble-free 3/6.

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.
