'Wordle' Today #770 Clues, Hints and Answer for Saturday, July 29 Puzzle
Wordle has come a long way since the game was first invented by Josh Wardle, a New York software developer, during coronavirus lockdown as a puzzle "for me and my partner to enjoy."
Wardle released his game to the public in October 2021 after which it quickly became a global sensation with a loyal following across the English speaking world. Such was Wordle's success that in January 2022 Wardle sold it to The New York Times for an undisclosed seven figure fee, though it remains free to play.
Erhan Aslan, who teaches applied linguistics at the University of Reading in the U.K., gave some advice for Wordle players during an interview with Newsweek.
He said: "One thing that I think is important in this game is the starting word chosen. Starting off with words that include commonly used vowels, for example, e and a, consonants such as r and t, and sound sequences might be helpful.
"Choosing a word that starts with q, z, j, or x, for instance, may not be the best choice. As you get more feedback after a few guesses, users need to draw on some knowledge of phonics to narrow down or eliminate some words that they might be thinking."
