Wordle hints (game #737) – clue #1 – Vowels
How many vowels does today’s Wordle have?
• Wordle today has vowels in two places*.
* Note that by vowel we mean the five standard vowels (A, E, I, O, U), not Y (which is sometimes counted as a vowel too).
Wordle hints (game #737) – clue #2 – first letter
What letter does today’s Wordle begin with?
• The first letter in today’s Wordle answer is G.
G is the eighth most common starting letter, featuring in 115 Wordle answers. It’s often paired with an L to make GL— – but I’m not revealing whether that’s the case today.
Wordle hints (game #737) – clue #3 – repeated letters
Does today’s Wordle have any repeated letters?
• There are no repeated letters in today’s Wordle.
Repeated letters are quite common in the game, with 748 of the 2,309 Wordle answers containing one. However, it’s still more likely that a Wordle doesn’t have one.
Wordle hints (game #737) – clue #4 – ending letter
What letter does today’s Wordle end with?
• The last letter in today’s Wordle is T.
T is a very common letter to end a Wordle answer – in fact only E and Y are more likely in that position.

Today’s Wordle answer (game #737)
Today’s Wordle answer (game #737) is… GUEST.
Ho, hum, humdrum. I’m not a massive fan of Wordles like this – standard words without any complications be they repeated letters, uncommon letters, uncommon spellings, awkward words or what have you. There are a lot of everyday words in Wordle, of course, so it’s understandable that they crop up regularly; it’s always a slight disappointment all the same. Give me a KAZOO or SHYLY or ENNUI over FROST, GRAND or GUEST any day!
Still, it’s a Wordle word and it’s not entirely without merit by any means. The GU opening combination is relatively uncommon – there are only 16 of these. In fact, there are fewer than half of these than there are ST combos at the end of a Wordle answer (36). And it does have a few near cousins with a similar word format; that might have thrown you off a bit. It all adds up to an average score of 3.9; as I said, pretty standard.
My opening guess was STARE, as always, because it’s one of the best Wordle starting words. Today it performed very nicely, leaving me with just 18 possible solutions – less than SLATE (19), CRANE (275), SLANT (34), TRACE (86) and CARTE (102), but not as low as LEAST (a mere six).
Some of the words I identified ended in EST – for instance QUEST, CHEST and GUEST – but I also had some that were IST (EXIST, HEIST) and quite a few that ended SET (BESET, UPSET, INSET, ONSET).
Nonetheless, I decided to go for CHEST because I was in a hurry to play and figured it would at least tell me what the ending was. And I got lucky: the E, S and T all turned green, meaning I was on the right lines. That left me just two possibles: QUEST and GUEST. A 4/6 was therefore the worst I could do, but I had another dose of luck when GUEST proved to be correct for a 3/6.

- Yesterday’s Wordle answer needs a cowboy.
Yesterday’s Wordle answer (game #736)
Yesterday’s Wordle answer (game #736) was… RODEO.
It’s been a mixed week in Wordle – we started with KAZOO, one of the hardest puzzles this year, but have had a couple of (relatively) easy ones too, in the likes of FROST and CRANE. RODEO rounds things off in the middle: WordleBot says people are solving it in an average of 4.1 guesses.
It has a repeated letter, of course, which instantly makes it harder than most games without one. That said, the repeated letter in question is an O, which is the second most likely letter to be duplicated in an answer (after E). That aside, the biggest complication is probably the fact that one of the Os goes at the end of the word – that’s actually less common in Wordle than the letter appearing twice.
Personally, I’m just pleased this wasn’t an -ER answer, as I suspected it would be when I got yellow R and E on the first guess. That start has left me with 181 possible solutions, according to WordleBot – ouch!
Not that many of the best Wordle starting words faired any better. SLATE (329), CRANE (187) and SLANT (530) were all worse than my STARE, while TRACE (171) and CARTE (163) were only marginally better.
Either way, there were lots of words to wade through. With that in mind I played LINED next in order to establish the position of the E and rule in/out a few more common consonants. That worked pretty well, giving me the green E I’d expected and also confirming that there was a D in the answer. Remarkably, that had removed 170 possible options from my list (which was only theoretical; I had a list, but it didn’t have anywhere near that many words on it).
I still thought this was going to be an -ER word, as my newly reduced possibles list contained RUDER, ODDER, UDDER, CODER, DEFER, ORDER, DOPER and DOZER. I decided to put the theory to the test by playing RUDER… and to my surprise ended up with a green R at the start, but gray R at the end.
Well, well, well. This wasn’t an -ER answer after all. It took me a while to work out what it could be instead, but eventually I realized that RODEO fit and played that for a straightforward 4/6.

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.
