If you are bothered by the June 13 (1090) word list, don't panic. A little too many? Take a look at these helpful hints for today's game.

What a fun game! I loved seeing the answers in the word book increase a little with each guess. I'll never set a speed record with this game, but I had a lot of fun.

We might use the word to describe personal feelings such as sadness, anxiety, intense fear, or worry. This feeling is often existential rather than caused by something specific.

There are no double letters in today's puzzle.

If you are new to our daily wordle puzzles, or if you need to take a break and refresh yourself for a while, here's a little trick for a must-win. Nothing makes the rest of your day better than a small victory.

There is no timer, so there is plenty of time to find the winning word. If you get stuck, there is no shame in going back to the puzzle later that day and finishing it when your head is clear.

Enjoy that winning feeling; the answer to the June 13 (1090) Wordle is ANGST.

Keeping track of Wordle's last handful of answers helps eliminate the current possibilities. It is also useful for inspiring opening words and subsequent guesses if you are short on ideas for the day.

Here are the last 10 answers in Wordle:

Wordle displays five boxes in six columns each day, where the goal is to figure out the correct five-letter word by entering a guess and deleting or checking individual letters.

Getting a good start on a strong word like ARISE, i.e., one that contains multiple vowels, common consonants, and non-repeating letters, is a good tactic; pressing Enter will display the correct or incorrect answer in the box. If the box goes to ⬛️, it means the letter is not in the secret word at all. A 🟨 means the letter is in the word but not in that position. 🟩 means that the correct letter is in the correct position.

The second guess should complement the starting word, using another "good" word to cover the common letter missed last time, while avoiding the letter that we now know for sure is not present in today's answer. With any luck, a few colored squares will be created and you will be on the right track.

Then it is just a matter of using what you have learned to narrow down the correct words. You can try six times in all, and you can only use actual words (you cannot fill in the box with EEEEE to see if there is an E). Letters may be repeated (e.g. BOOKS).

Wordle was originally conceived by software engineer Josh Wardle as a surprise for his partner, who liked word games. From there it spread to his family and was finally released to the public. Since then, the word puzzle game has spawned a slew of Wordle-like games, focusing the daily gimmicks on music, math, and geography; it wasn't long before Wordle became so popular that it was sold to the New York Times for a seven-figure sum. Indeed, it would only be a matter of time before we would be communicating solely through tricolored boxes.
