"Wordle" today #1,325 clues, hints and answer for Monday, February 3 game

Having trouble with Monday's Wordle? You probably (definitely) aren't the only one, but Newsweek has you covered.

" and I play it on the couch together each morning," Welsh software engineer Josh Wardle, who created the game, told Newsweek in January 2022. "She will consistently get it in three goes, which is way, way better than I can ever hope to achieve. I normally need at least four or five attempts."

Wardle Initially developed the web-based word game in 2013, but later revisited the project during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021 to entertain his partner, Palak Shah.

Wardle and Shah played the game privately before releasing it to the public in October 2021. By November 1, 2021, Wordle had 90 players, which grew to 300,000 daily players by the end of the year.

In January 2022, The New York Times acquired Wordle for an undisclosed seven-figure fee.

The game challenges players to guess a five-letter word within six attempts, providing feedback after each guess through colored tiles that indicate correct letters and their positions.

Previously speaking to Newsweek, Erhan Aslan, a linguistics expert who teaches at the University of Reading in the United Kingdom, provided some tips for Wordle players.

"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," Aslan said.
