Wordle 397 – Hints and Answer for July 21, 2022

You have up to six tries to guess the correct word in The New York Times’ Wordle. After each guess, the boxes change to three different colors. Each color indicates whether your letters appear in the final solution. For example, if a square turns grey, that letter does not appear in the final answer. If a box turns yellow, the letter is in the answer but is currently in the wrong spot. Similarly, if a box turns green, you have the correct letter in that square. This color-coding system also works if you use the same letter multiple times.

Before heading into today’s Wordle answer, here are three hints to help you determine the final word:

  • There are two vowels in today’s word.
  • The word ends with the letter “D”.
