The February 26th Wordle isn’t anything too difficult and should have most people winning within four guesses. Wordle is a once-a-day puzzle game that has gained popularity due to its simple gameplay and strong social media sharing ability. Throughout 2022, Wordle boxes could be found all over social media timelines. This led to more and more players looking up and enjoying this fun word-guessing game.
Wordle is played on a 5×6 grid of boxes and it’s the player’s job to figure out a random five-letter word within six guesses. To begin a game players need to have a strong starting word, based on this word the game will highlight letters green if they are correct and in the right position, yellow if they are correct but in the wrong spot, or grey if they are not in the word at all. This information can be used for subsequent guesses in the hopes of eventually leading to the correct answer. A normal game will allow players to use any word at any time, but there is a Wordle ‘Hard Mode’ that can be accessed through the options menu. This mode will force the player into using letters that have been proven correct, and not allow letters that have been shown to be incorrect. This adds a bit more critical thinking to the game.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY
The real popularity of Wordle can easily be traced back to its social media sharing ability. After a puzzle is completed, win or lose, players are given the opportunity to share their results by copy and pasting their game to whatever social media platform they use. Wordle utilizes small colored emoji boxes to show off the player’s journey in the game without spoiling any words that were guessed. This form of sharing has gained Wordle more players throughout the year simply by staying ambiguous and allowing others to search out the game for themselves.
Wordle’s February 26th, 2022 (#252) Hints
For the players that don’t want a direct answer to today’s Wordle, we’ve provided a few hints to help out.
- Hint 1: Today’s Wordle contains a double letter.
- Hint 2: Young children often cause today’s answer.
- Hint 3: Today’s Wordle answer could be the cause of an accidental mess.
Wordle 252 Answer (February 26)
If the clues above didn’t give it away, today’s Wordle answer is SPILL. For today’s starting word we used ROAST, this led to a few incorrect letters and one misplaced ‘S’. Knowing The New York Times‘ affinity for adding double letters recently our second guess was SPELL. This guess easily gave away the correct answer and we completed the February 26th Wordle in three guesses.
After quite a few difficult words for the last few days, SPILL was a nice change of pace. Sometimes games just need to provide an easy win to bring players back into the fold.
