So, today’s Wordle might have been a tad tricky and not everyone was able to keep their streak going. As is customary, Twitter is the place to blow off steam.
And Wordle has the Twitterverse divided into two groups today – those who believe it’s not a real word, and those laughing at everyone else.
One netizen said: “I really think Wordle has gotten harder over the past few weeks. I’m not complaining, because I like a bit of a challenge. Just observing; it definitely seems like a pattern.”
How do people not know this word?

Another player vented: “This is not even a real word! Nonsense. Wordle has lost the plot.”
If anybody is in a really good mood, try today’s wordle, that will change it. – Donald Pond.

Wordle #377 hint
If today’s Wordle is ruining your inner peace, fret not; we’ve got your back. Wordle 377 might trip you up, so you’ll have to choose wisely.
It’s not a common word and contains only two vowels. The first letter is a consonant.
Some American players would tell you it’s a car. Players from other parts of the world will tell you it’s related to the words ‘horse‘ and ‘beans‘.
If it helps, one player offered this helpful bit of advice: “It is a word and a Ford piece-of junk car!”
Wordle advice
Before you give up, try these tips:
- Use a word with the most popular vowels – A and E – and make sure the same letter doesn’t appear twice in your guess.
- Avoid letters such as X, Z and Q until later on; these aren’t used as often as A, E, R, S and T.
- I personally start the game with ARISE and TOUCH.
- However, the words RAISE and MOUNT are worthy contenders too.
