Today’s Wordle 487 answer and hint: Wednesday, October 19

Wordle today: The solution and a hint for Wednesday's puzzle.

All the tips, tricks, and helpful hints you could ever need to make your daily Wordle game a breeze are right here. Need something a little more direct? No problem—you’ll find a fresh clue just below, and the answer to the October 19 (487) puzzle just after that.

Today’s Wordle took a little more effort than I expected, as most of those helpful yellows somehow managed to evade my keypresses—and the ones that did show up weren’t as much help as I hoped they’d be. I got there just in time but wow, that was close.

Wordle hint

Today’s Wordle: A hint for Wednesday, October 19

You’d use this word to describe something or someone that’s just a little bit strange or out of the ordinary. It’s a friend’s weird habit or an unexpected turn of events. You’ll need to use some of the less popular consonants to find today’s word. 

Wordle help: 3 tips for beating Wordle every day 

If there’s one thing better than playing Wordle, it’s playing Wordle well, which is why I’m going to share a few quick tips to help set you on the path to success:

A good opener contains a balanced mix of unique vowels and consonants. A tactical second guess helps to narrow down the pool of letters quickly.The solution may contain repeat letters.

There’s no time pressure beyond making sure it’s done by midnight. So there’s no reason to not treat the game like a casual newspaper crossword and come back to it later if you’re coming up blank.

Every day Wordle presents you with six rows of five boxes, and it’s up to you to work out which secret five-letter word is hiding inside them.

You’ll want to start with a strong word like ALERT—something containing multiple vowels, common consonants, and no repeat letters. Hit Enter and the boxes will show you which letters you’ve got right or wrong. If a box turns ⬛️, it means that letter isn’t in the secret word at all. 🟨 means the letter is in the word, but not in that position. 🟩 means you’ve got the right letter in the right spot.

You’ll want your second go to compliment the first, using another “good” word to cover any common letters you missed last time while also trying to avoid any letter you now know for a fact isn’t present in today’s answer.

After that it’s just a case of using what you’ve learned to narrow your guesses down to the right word. You have six tries in total and can only use real words (so no filling the boxes with EEEEE to see if there’s an E). Don’t forget letters can repeat too (ex: BOOKS).

If you need any further advice feel free to check out our Wordle tips, and if you’d like to find out which words have already been used you’ll find those below.

Originally, Wordle was dreamed up by software engineer Josh Wardle, as a surprise for his partner who loves word games. From there it spread to his family, and finally got released to the public. The word puzzle game has since inspired tons of games like Wordle, refocusing the daily gimmick around music or math or geography. It wasn’t long before Wordle became so popular it was sold to the New York Times for seven figures. Surely it’s only a matter of time before we all solely communicate in tricolor boxes.
