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 493 Answer Today? (October 25th, 2022)
Here is how I managed to solve Wordle 493 today in five guesses. I guessed the word ‘AUDIO’ first, which is my usual starter word and this showed me that there is an O in the answer.

The next word I decided to guess was ‘PRONE’ as it has an E in it and it also places the O in a different place. Unfortunately, this word did not place the O in the correct position, nor did it reveal any other letters in the word.

I then decided to guess the word ‘SOFTY’ as it puts the O in a different position as well as using letters I have not guessed yet. This was a great word to guess as it placed the O and the Y correctly as showed me that there is an F in the answer.

As the F is not the third letter, I figured it has to be the starting letter and I also thought that the third and fourth letters are likely to be the same letter so I guessed the word ‘FOLLY’ next. This placed the F correctly but there is no L in the word.

I still thought that there is a double letter in the middle and so looking at the letters left, I managed to solve the answer to Wordle 492 in my next guess, which is…
FOGGY!
