Sun May 18 14:30:00 UTC 2025: ## Wordle Craze Continues: Need a Hint? Today’s Puzzle Starts with ‘L’

**New York, NY -** The daily Wordle puzzle continues to captivate players worldwide, with many seeking a little help to crack the code. The viral word game, originally created by Josh Wardle for his partner and later acquired by The New York Times, challenges players to guess a five-letter word in six tries.

Mashable offers daily hints and tips for those looking for an edge. Strategies often include using starting words with multiple vowels and common consonants like ‘S’, ‘T’, ‘R’, and ‘N’. While an archive of past Wordle puzzles was once freely available, it has since been replaced by a subscriber-only archive on the NYT Games platform.

Today’s Wordle clue? It starts with the letter ‘L’.

While some speculate the game is becoming harder, its core difficulty remains unchanged. For those seeking an extra challenge, Wordle’s “Hard Mode” provides a more demanding experience.

And if word puzzles aren’t enough, Mashable also offers a variety of games, including Mahjong, Sudoku, and crossword puzzles.
