EDITOR'S NOTE: This article is for Wordle answer #329; the May 15th Wordle answer is available now.
The Wordle only has one new puzzle a day, it's incredibly easy to keep up with. Combined with its sharing ability across social media, many people have added Wordle to their daily routines.
Fortunately for those who may not know what World exactly is, or how to play, the game is incredibly simple. The first move everyone needs to make includes guessing a single five-letter word, and afterward, the game will provide on how close players were to getting the correct answer by changing the color of the boxes. Any box highlighted in green means that the letter in that position is both correct and in the right spot. The yellow box in Wordle means the correct letter has been guessed, but it actually belongs somewhere else. Lastly, when players receive a box highlighted in grey, it means that the letter is a part of the correct answer. With the assessment information in hand, players have five more chances to guess the daily word correctly.
Today's Wordle Hints (May 14th #329)
Before we spoil the answer to today's Wordle entirely, players can use these helpful hints to guess the word for themselves.
- Hint 1: There are two vowels in today's answer.
- Hint 2: This Wordle answer is hard, shiny, and malleable.
- Hint 3: Much like the material itself, this answer is also a "heavier" type of music.
Before the answer is spoiled in the next section, now is the perfect time to share that there is also a hard mode for Wordle that players can turn on in the options menu. This version of the game forces the previous clues to be used in subsequent answers for the daily puzzle. Once a letter is correctly guessed, it has to be used in any attempts afterward.
Today's Wordle Answer (May 14th #329)
The May 14th Worlde word is METAL.
Unfortunately, getting the answer today was not a straightforward play, and we went against what the game actually expects players to do as they make subsequent guesses for the answer. Within three guesses, we were able to come up with METAL, but the word that revealed most of the correct letters was MAPLE. The starting word we used today in Wordle was VIPER, which only kept the 'E' and greyed out the rest of the letters. Realizing that MAPLE would be incorrect because 'P' wasn't a letter of today's word, we guessed it anyways because 'M' or 'A' are used in a lot of five-letter words with 'E.' Getting the 'L' correct was a nice bonus. If METAL wasn't correct in Wordle, we would have guessed MEDAL.
