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 490 Answer Today? (October 22nd, 2022)
Here is how I managed to solve Wordle 490 today in four guesses. I guessed the word ‘AUDIO’ first, which is my usual starter word and this showed me that there is an I in the word but it has not been correctly placed.
The next word I decided to guess was ‘INFER’ as it places the I in a different position as well as using an E in it. Unfortunately, the I was not placed correctly, but it did place the E in the correct position.
I guessed the word ‘TIMES’ next as it places the I in a different position and uses letters that have not been guessed yet. This word showed me that there is an S in the answer, but it is not the last letter.
The I would have to be the third letter and I thought that the S would be the starting letter leaving the second and last letters to be guessed. The next word I guessed was the answer to Wordle 490, which is…
