This is due to changes the New York Timesmade after acquiring the game. Just last week, a word was swapped out because it was unexpectedly topical. Make sure you refresh your browser before you play each day.
And now, a hint for today’s Wordle…
You are one! (It's a noun, and also a verb.)
Today’s 5-letter word starts with…
Bzzz bzz bzz... it's the letter B.
