Wordle 412 August 5 hints: Struggling with Wordle today? Three clues to help with answer

Once we get Friday out of the way, we’re officially in weekend mode. In the meantime, the genius behind Wordle has another fiendish puzzle for fans to solve. Today’s Wordle isn’t the most obscure word, but it is trickier than you’d think. Fortunately, however, Express Online is here to help Wordle fans across the world, courtesy of some spoiler-free hints for Wordle 412 on August 5. Just head to the bottom of the page for the clues, and good luck!

A deceptively tricky game, Wordle tasks players with figuring out a five letter word in just six guesses.

To master Wordle and solve those puzzles, you’ll need to pay close attention to the colour of the tiles after each guess.

If the letter tile turns grey, the letter does not appear in the word you are guessing. If the tile turns yellow, the letter you guessed is in the word, just not in the correct position. If the tile turns green, the letter is in the word and in the right place.

The app keeps track of your statistics, showing the number of correct answers you’ve managed, as well as your winning streak.

If you fail to solve the puzzle, then you’ll have to wait until the next day for a new Wordle to be released. You’ll also lose your precious winning streak.
