If you've never played Wordle before, the aim of the game is simple. Using the process of elimination, you need to figure out a five-letter word in six guesses.
After making a guess, the letter tiles will change to one of three colours. Paying attention to the colours of the tiles is key to working out the answer in as few guesses as possible.
If the tile turns grey, the letter does not appear in the word you are guessing. If the tile turns yellow, the letter you guessed is in the word, just not in the correct position. If the tile turns green, the letter is in the word and in the right place.
If you really want a challenge, Wordle features a hard mode, which bans players from guessing letters that have already been ruled out. It's risky, however, because if you fail to solve the puzzle, then you'll have to wait until the next day for a new Wordle to be released.

General Wordle tips and tricks...
• Don't use the same letter twice in your opening guess.
• Try to use a couple of vowels in your first guess, particularly 'A' and 'E'.
• Avoid letters such as 'X', 'Z' and 'Q' until later on, when you have a better idea what the answer is.
• 'RAISE' is a good word to start with, while 'TOUCH' is a decent second guess.
