Today’s Wordle answer (game #744)
Today’s Wordle answer (game #744) is… HOTEL.
We’re back on the simpler side of things today, with WordleBot reporting that this game has received an average score of just 3.6 from everyone who has played it thus far, compared to 4.3 for yesterday’s game (see below).
It’s easy to see why; there are no repeated letters, no truly rare letters, and there aren’t a lot of words with the same spelling. It does, however, have four extremely frequent letters in O, T, E, and L, as well as one that is slightly less common but not as uncommon as Q, Z, or X.
Today, your choice of the best Wordle starting words might have made a significant difference. WordleBot’s favorite is SLATE, which was also chosen as the most popular alternative, leaving just 18 possible solutions. SLANT (27) also performed admirably.
STARE, my favorite option, could have been more helpful – according to WordleBot, I still had 90 words left. Thankfully, my second guess – TONED – reduced them to just four. With a green O and E in place and T now limited to two spots, the only configurations that worked were -OTE- and -O-ET. COVET and COMET are examples of the latter, whereas HOTEL and motels are examples of the former.
Of course, COVET was just over a week ago – game #734. Even with my bad recollection, I didn’t need to look at a previous Wordle answers list to rule out that one, so I was limited to just three options. With that in mind, I played HOTEL next, which proved to be a smart guess, giving me a handsome 3/6.

Yesterday’s Wordle hints (game #743)
In a different time zone where it’s still Sunday? Don’t worry – I can give you some clues for Wordle #743, too.
- Wordle yesterday had a vowel in one place.
- The first letter in yesterday’s Wordle answer was M.
- There was one repeated letter in yesterday’s Wordle.
- The last letter in yesterday’s Wordle was Y.
- Yesterday’s Wordle answer is an organic covering.
Yesterday’s Wordle answer (game #743)
Yesterday’s Wordle answer (game #743) was… MOSSY.
We haven’t had any tough Wordles recently. WordleBot, the New York Times’ AI assistant, tracks the average score of each game, and the previous four have all been exactly 4.0. The two before that were both in the 3s, and in fact, the last game that was as difficult as this one was played ten days before. That’s because today’s Wordle Word has an average score of 4.3, which is difficult by anyone’s standards.
Of course, the repeated S contributes to the difficulty. S is a rather common letter to be repeated – it’s the ninth most likely to appear more than once in a Wordle answer – but it only occurs in 49 games. Furthermore, S is a very common letter in the game, but it’s generally encountered at the beginning of an answer rather than in the middle, as it is here.
It’s also the type of game in which none of the best Wordle starting words will have reduced things. STARE, my choice, was OK – it left 56 viable solutions – but that was it. They were all high: SLATE (64), SLANT (109), TRACE, CARTE, CRATE (345), and CRANE (358).
I needed to figure out the word’s format with just one S to go on for my second guess. The majority of the options I found ended in a Y (PUSHY, BOSSY, DUSKY, HUSKY, FISHY), an H (BLUSH, FLUSH), or an S (GLOSS, MINUS, BONUS, BLISS, FOCUS).
I chose the Y path and guessed correctly: PUSHY gave me a green S in the middle and a green Y at the end. Furthermore, it ruled out the U, significantly narrowing my remaining possibilities. In fact, according to WordleBot and me, it left me with just four: BOSSY, MOSSY, MISSY, and KISSY.
I was skeptical that MISSY and KISSY would be legitimate answers, so I chose one of the O options, BOSSY. It wasn’t correct, but it left me with just one more option: MOSSY, which I guessed correctly the next time for a 4/6.

What is Wordle? What is today’s wordle
If you’re reading this, you already know what Wordle is and have been playing it for a time. Even if you haven’t been playing it, you’ve probably heard of it by now because it’s the viral word game fad that swept the world last year and is still going strong in 2023.
We have a complete guide to the wordle game online on our What is Wordle page, but if you want a quick refresher, here are the fundamentals.
What is Wordle?
How to play wordle Isn’t it simple?
Importantly, the answer is the same for everyone every day, which means you compete against the rest of the world, not just yourself or the game. The puzzle then resets each day at midnight at your local time, giving you a new challenge and the opportunity to extend your streak.
What are the Wordle rules?
The rules of Wordle are pretty straightforward, but with a couple of curve balls thrown in for good measure.
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 game.
9. You must complete the daily Wordle before midnight in your timezone.
10. All answers are drawn from Wordle today 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.
