Use our hint for today's Wordle if you're running out of rows and really need to start finding some green letters quick. Or use it to give you the best possible start, a springboard for every guess that comes afterwards. And don't worry if it's not working out the way you hoped, because the answer to the January 2 (1293) Wordle's ready whenever you are.
I built today's answer up the wrong way around, every new green showing up on the right hand side of the row, and slowly building towards the left. It all worked out for me in the end, but it never stopped feeling weird, like I was doing something I shouldn't. I'm glad I won, but I'm also hoping tomorrow's Wordle doesn't make me solve it in reverse—once a week is more than enough for me.
