Today’s Wordle Answer #847, hints and tips for the game on Saturday, October 14th

When New York-based software engineer Josh Wardle first developed Wordle during the coronavirus lockdown, as a game “for me and my partner to enjoy,” he certainly had no idea he was in for a global one to trigger a sensation.

Despite these humble origins, Wordle enjoyed widespread popularity following its release in October 2021, with players from around the world completing and, in many cases, sharing their results on social media. The success was so great that Wardle was able to sell Wordle The New York Times in January 2022 for an undisclosed, low seven-figure amount, although the game was still free to play.

Erhan Aslan, an expert in applied linguistics who teaches at the University of Reading in the United Kingdom, offered some advice to Wordle players in an interview with Newsweek.

Aslan said: “One thing I think is important in this game is the starting word chosen. It might be helpful to start with words that contain common vowels like e and a, consonants like r and t, and sound sequences.” .

“Choosing a word that starts with q, z, j, or x, for example, may not be the best choice. Because you get more feedback after a few guesses, users need to draw on some knowledge of phonetics to narrow down or eliminate some words they might be thinking,” Aslan added.

The answer to today’s puzzle will be revealed at the end of this article. So scroll down carefully if you want to find out for yourself.
