Wordle is a very popular word game that has gone viral due to the results being posted all over social media by players and the simplicity of the game. The aim is to guess the five-letter American English word in six guesses or less.
There are no initial clues given as to what the word could be, but once you have made a guess, the tiles will change colour letting you know more about the letters in the word. The three different colours the tiles could change to are grey, yellow, or green.
Grey indicates that the letter you guessed is not in the word at all, so you should avoid using it in future guesses. Yellow indicates that the letter does appear in the word, but not in the position you have it in now. Green indicates that you have guessed the correct letter and placed it in the correct location, which is the colour you want to see!

There is also a hard mode for the game in which you are forced to use any correctly guessed letters from the previous row in every guess you make. You may already do this, but there are times when there are multiple answers for the Wordle and you need to guess a word that contains the potential letters to help you solve the Wordle, which you will not be able to do with this mode. You can always turn it back off during the game as well if you find it too difficult.

What is the Wordle 488 Answer Today? (October 20th, 2022)
Here is how I managed to solve Wordle 488 today in only three guesses! I guessed the word ‘AUDIO’ first, which is my usual starter word and this was a good word to guess for the answer today. It placed the I in the correct position as well as showing me that there is a D in the answer.
As the I was the fourth letter, I thought there could be another one in second place so I guessed the word ‘DIGIT’ next as it also puts the D in a different position. This word placed the D in the correct position but no other letters were revealed to be in the answer.
I then wanted to check if there is an E in the word as it seems there would be a vowel in second position and the first word I thought of was the answer to Wordle 488, which is…
DENIM!
