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 496 Answer Today? (October 28th, 2022)
Here is how I managed to solve Wordle 496 today in five guesses. I guessed the word ‘AUDIO’ first, which is my usual starter word and this showed me that there is an A in the answer, but it has not been correctly placed.

I then guessed a word that puts the A in a different place and uses different letters than the ones that have been guessed. The word I guessed next was ‘WRATH’ and this word did not show any letters that are in the answer, nor did it place the A correctly.

As the A was not in second place, I decided to guess a word that has an E in it and so I guessed the word ‘MANGE’ next. This word showed me that there is an E and N in the word, but no letters have not been placed correctly in the answer.

I then wanted to see if the E was the second letter instead so I guessed the word ‘PECAN’ next. This word finally placed the A in the correct position, but no new letters were revealed to be in the answer again.

Looking at the positioning of the A, I realised that the E could be next to it and the N was likely the second letter. I was then able to solve the answer to Wordle 496 in my next guess, which is…
SNEAK!
