Wordle, created by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner and later bought by the New York Times, has become a daily habit for thousands of people, and inspired countless clones and variations on the daily guessing-game format.
Try the battle royale-style Squabble, the maddeningly fun music game Heardle, the several-at-once variants like Dordleand Quordleand so on (and put them all together to beat the 31-word Grand Slam) — or leverage your nerdiest knowledge with Wordleclones made for specific fandoms.

CHUNK.
Goonies never say die! The word CHUNK has such a satisfying feel to it. My recent, highly unscientific strategy of guessing ___NK words if my go-to opening guesses turn up zero colored tiles paid off today. As handy as it is to have a habitual starting word, it also helps to have a secondary one full of more unique letters to reach for if your usual starter is, well, a non-starter.
Didn't get there today? There's always tomorrow. See you back here for more clues and helpful hints.
