Thursday! What a concept! And what a wonderful day to Wordle. If you're stuck on today's Wordleand need a puzzle buddy, you're in the right place. We've put together some (hopefully) helpful tips, clues for today's word, and the Wordleanswer for game #327, which you can find way down the bottom of the page.

Wondering what all the fuss is about? Wordlewas created by Josh Wardle, a former Reddit engineer, as a present for his partner. It went super-viral in late 2021, and was bought by the New YorkTimesearlier this year for a hefty chunk of cash. We love to see a nerdboss win.

Has theTimesmade Wordleharder? Actually, they've been making it easier. As we've reported previously, it's the same old Wordle, with some "harder" words nixed from Wardle original list. If you wantit to be harder, you can always switch on Hard Mode, which means you can't make any guesses that don't have previously confirmed letters in them.

Why are there sometimes two different Wordle answers on the same day?

As we've previously reported, this is down to some changes the New York Timeshas made to creator Josh Wardle's original word list to remove obscure, potentially offensive, or confusing words. This happened just this week, as the originally programmed word for Wordle#324 on Monday was unexpectedly topical, leading the Timesto publish a note explaining the coincidence and telling solvers to refresh their browser to ensure they got the updated version.
