Wordle 517 hints for November 18: Spoiler-free clues to help fans

Wordle is back with yet another fiendish puzzle, and just in time for the weekend. The daily Wordle for November 18 is a tough one, and is almost certain to end to one or two winning streaks. If you’re struggling with today’s Wordle, then don’t fret, because Express Online is here to help, courtesy of three spoiler-free hints to help you solve Wordle 517. Just head to the bottom of the page for those crucial clues. Good luck!

Wordle challenges players to figure out a five letter word in just six guesses. In order to successfully solve the puzzle, you need to pay attention to the colour of the tiles.

If the tile turns grey, then the letter you’ve guessed doesn’t appear in the final word. If it turns yellow, then the letter appears in the word, just not in that position. A green tile means the letter is in the word and in the correct place.

If you’re really lucky you might just get the answer on your first go, although the odds are extremely slim.

Because of the popularity of Wordle, there are lots of different variations of the original game, all with their own twist.

There’s a Lord of the Rings themed Wordle called Lordle, a musical variant called Heardle, and a hardcore Wordle game called Quordle – where the aim is to guess four words instead of just one.

If you’re not great with words, then you’ll prefer something like Nerdle, where you’ve got to figure out a maths equation.
