If you’re having trouble with today’s Wordle puzzle, you’re not alone; even the game’s creator finds it difficult from time to time.

“[My partner] and I play it on the couch together each morning,” New York-based software engineer Josh Wardle told Newsweek in January 2022. “She will consistently get it in three goes, which is way, way better than I can ever hope to achieve. I normally need at least four or five attempts.”

Years after developing the concept, Wardle improved the game during COVID-19 lockdowns before making it available to the public in October 2021.

Following its debut, Wordle exploded from 90 users on November 1, 2021, to 300,000 on January 2, 2022. The New York Times purchased it for an undisclosed seven-figure fee soon after, and it went on to become the publication’s most popular game.

A large part of Wordle‘s appeal is its simplicity. Players must identify a mystery five-letter word by using a process of elimination to work out the answer.

Players are helped along with a color-tiled system, with green indicating that the letter appears in the word; yellow indicating the letter is in the word but in the wrong spot; and a gray tile meaning that letter does not appear at all.

Newsweek has provided some clues below for today’s Wordle puzzle. The answer will be revealed at the end of this article, so please scroll down with caution if you want to work it out for yourself.

The answer to Saturday’s Wordle is “Relax,” which feels like the perfect word for this time of year.
