Another new Wordle word is available to solve. If you’re having issues we’ve got hints, and the fully spoiled answer, for the January 16th Wordle.

The newest Wordle word is available to solve and today’s answer shouldn’t cause too much trouble for most fans of the game. It is always an enjoyable day when you can wake up to the morning Wordle and be able to solve it with only a little bit of work but for those that do prefer something more challenging, there is always the Wordle Hard Mode.

Hard Mode can be activated through the options menu before beginning any daily game and locks in hints, preventing players from using word combos that have nothing to do with the subsequent clues. This is a great way to lower the amount of guesses it takes and requires a bit more brain power to solve.
