It’s the first day of August and a perfect day for new beginnings, especially if you haven’t had the best of luck with Wordle till now, or haven’t been able to be regular with it. While the last week has had a mix of easy and difficult words, today is more of the latter but that doesn’t mean you wouldn’t be able to solve it on your own or with some help, and boast about it to your friends.   
 
The fact that so many people have been playing it over the last one year means it is definitely exciting. In fact, its popularity even saw New York Times acquire it from its creator, Josh Wardle, an American ex-Reddit software engineer, who made it for his girlfriend who loved word games.  
 
Players only get six chances to get the word right and the word changes every day. Interestingly, it is the same word for everybody around the world who is playing from the official app, and that means that if you haven’t guessed it, you can always ask your friend to help you out. It is important to be on the top of your game or simply find a better strategy to approach playing the game every day.  
 
If you have been finding it difficult or are in need of a strategy, here are some tips to get you started:  
 
What type of word is it?  
Like yesterday, today is also a noun and may not be the easiest of words to guess. However, it may just be easier if you are thinking about food, as it's part of word used to describe 1/4th of the whole. To make things easier, it is also only part of the word and once you guess the first letter, the rest will follow. 

What are the letters in it?  
Unlike the last two days, today has two vowels which are in the second and third position. So, once you get their combination correctly, it shouldn’t be too hard to guess the rest. While getting the first letter of the five-letter word is key, the others are commonly used in every day words.
