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 480 Answer Today? (October 12th, 2022)
Here is how I managed to solve Wordle 480 today in four guesses today. I guessed the word ‘AUDIO’ first, which is my usual starter word. This was a good word to start with for the answer today as it placed the I in the correct position as well as showing me that there is an O in the word.
I then decided to guess the word ‘GROIN’ as I thought the O would be before the I and this also uses letters that I have not guessed yet. Unfortunately, the O was not placed correctly, but it did show me that there is an N in the answer.
As the O is not the third or fifth letter, I thought that it was likely the second. I wanted to see if I could think of any words that would place the N as the third letter and use letters that I have not guessed yet. The first word I thought of guessing was ‘TONIC’. This was a great word to guess as it placed the O, N and C all in the correct places.
This left only the first letter to be guessed and even though there are a few possibilities for what the word could be, I managed to solve the answer to Wordle 480 in my next guess, which is…
IONIC!
