Daily Wordle 788 - 16th August 2023

Here is the Wordle answer today for the 788 word, released on August 16th, 2023 and some hints to help you solve it.

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 788 Answer Today? (August 16th, 2023)

Here is how I managed to solve Wordle 788 in six guesses today. I guessed the word ‘AUDIO’ first, which is my usual starter word.

This word showed me that there is a U in the answer, but it is not the second letter.

I then wanted to guess a word that puts the U in a different position as well as having an E in it so I went with the word ‘PRUNE’.

The U had still not been correctly placed, but it did show me that there is an R in the answer.

The next word that came to mind that places the known letters in different positions was ‘STRUT’.

This word placed the S, R and U in the correct positions.

Now only the second and fifth letters were left to be guessed so I went with the word ‘SHRUG’.

Unfortunately, this word did not reveal any new letters in the Wordle answer today.
