Spoiler: The answer is below.
Wordle has slowly become a part of our morning ritual.
The premise of the viral sensation is that players have six chances to guess a five-letter word. The different coloured squares indicate how well they have done with their guesses:
Black square - the letter is not in the word
Yellow square - correct letter but in the wrong location
Green square - correct letter, correct location
The Wordle answer 212 for Tuesday 18 January is “PROXY.”
“PROXY” describes the authority to represent someone else, commonly seen in voting.
It also refers to a figure representing the value of something in a calculation. Or in the internet world, a proxy server can act as a middleman between the user and the internet.
