Wordle 279 March 25 HINTS: Struggling with today’s Wordle? Three clues to help with answer

There’s good news and bad news for Wordle fans on March 25. The good news is that it’s Friday and there’s a brand new Wordle puzzle for fans to solve. The bad news, however, is that Wordle 279 is one of the more challenging puzzles we’ve faced in recent weeks. Fortunately, Express Online is here to help, courtesy of three spoiler-free hints and clues at the bottom of the page. Good luck, and remember to come back tomorrow for the next batch of clues.

If you’re new to Wordle and aren’t quite sure how it all works, here’s a little refresher.

The aim of Wordle is to figure out a five letter word in just six attempts. Get it wrong and you’ll have to wait until a new puzzle comes along on the following day.

If you do want to solve it in as few attempts as possible, you’ll need to pay attention to the colour of the tiles.

If the tile turns grey, the letter does not appear in the word you are guessing. If the tile turns yellow, the letter you guessed is in the word, just not in the correct position. If the tile turns green, the letter is in the word and in the right place.

The app keeps track of your statistics, showing the number of correct answers you’ve managed, and how quickly you were able to solve today’s puzzle – something which can be shared on social media for bragging rights.
