EDITOR'S NOTE: This article is for Wordle answer #471; the October 4th Wordle answer is available now.
October 3rd's Wordle answer is not particularly hard to solve due to the common nature of the word and the placement of the only vowel. However, there is a good chance that due to the number of possible answers, players might exhaust all of their attempts before figuring out the correct answer for today's puzzle. However, if players use their usual strategic words, they might be able to solve the answer in less than six attempts. Needless to say, if players still find it challenging to figure out the solution, they will fare better by using contextual hints that will paint a more accurate picture of the answer.
Although the answer for today's puzzle can be solved without using Wordle's hard mode, it is still a great way to learn the mechanics of future puzzles. The more challenging mode is perfect for solving Wordle puzzles that feature double or repeating letters. Since the game does not offer any additional hints apart from the green/yellow boxes, it is essential to use this mode at some point. The harder mode does not let players use confirmed letters in different spots, which comes in handy for solving complex words and developing new strategies. However, players who are pressed for time and want to solve today's puzzle faster can use the hints below.
