What is today's five letter word?

If you are still giving today's Wordle a go, look away now!

The mystery five letter word today is 'ahead'.

What is Wordle?

The game was created by software engineer, Josh Wardle, who recently sold the popular word game to the New York Times for an undisclosed seven figure sum.

Simple but addictive, Worlde is a word game with only one puzzle.

The puzzle is the same for everyone and you play it daily.

All you need to do is guess one single word each time you play - you have six attempts.

Using Wordle's colour coded system, you must try to guess a five-letter word.

The colours give you a little help by letting you know whether a letter is in the right spot or not.

For example, if the letter turns green then you know it is in the correct position.

On the other hand, the letter will turn yellow if it is in the word but just not quite in the right place with the letter turning grey if it is not in the word at all.

If you fancy a challenge, you could turn on 'hard mode' which forces players to use hints given by the game, stopping you from guessing words at random.
