(Warning: Hints ahead for Wednesday’s Wordle.

But we don’t give the word away.)

Let’s talk about Wednesday’sWordle puzzle, aka Wordle 270.

This puzzle was one of those words with a very common ending and thusmany possible answers.

If you missed the word entirely,breaking your possibly treasured streak, you’re far from alone.

Even if you got the last four letters correct – which I did finally, at guess No.

4 – you were still fighting an uphill battle.

But not for everyone.

Make a list of any starting letters that work for the word, especially letters you haven’t used.

Then scramble those letters up with as few eliminated letters as possible.

You want to play words that test as many possible starting letters as you’re free to.

Both of those words test a lot of consonants for you and could give you your one missing letter.

Fans shared their frustration on social media.

“Never ever playing again,” wrote one player.
