Hints to beat today’s puzzles
Spanish Wordle fans — there’s a double challenge today: the regular five-letter puzzle and the accented version. If you want to solve them without resorting to spoilers, start with a guess that includes two vowels and three consonants and avoid repeating letters on your opening try. After that, keep what turns green, shuffle the yellows to new spots, and toss the grays.
Quick beginner tip: Spanish letter frequency leans on S, R, M, N and L for consonants, so try to include a couple of those early to narrow things down fast.
Now for the clue drop (each hint gets more specific than the last — stop when you’ve had enough): the regular puzzle is a five-letter, masculine noun made up of three consonants and two vowels, and one of the letters appears twice. It starts with a consonant and ends in a vowel. The vowels O, E and I aren’t in the word. The first letter is B, and that B appears up to two times. The final letter carries an accent. The word points to a tall, woody member of the grass family from India, known for strong, lightweight stalks used in construction and furniture.
The accented puzzle follows a different pattern: it’s a masculine adjective with six letters (three consonants and three vowels), no repeated letters, and it starts with a consonant and finishes with a vowel. It doesn’t use E or U as vowels, begins with R, and includes an accent on the second letter. Meaning-wise, it describes something that happens or moves very quickly.

Quick wrap: Wordle started as a tiny web toy by Josh Wardle, blew up in 2022, and even spawned loads of spin-offs and clones. Whether you love the vanilla puzzle or the accent-twisting variants, these daily brainteasers keep the community chatting — and arguing about the best starting words.
