If you’re looking for the Wordle answer for December 26, 2023 read on. We’ll share some clues, tips, and strategies, and finally the solution. Today’s puzzle is medium difficulty; I got it in four. Beware, there are spoilers below for December 26, Wordle #920! Keep scrolling if you want some hints (and then the answer) to today’s Wordle game.

How to play Wordle

Wordle lives here on the New York Times website. A new puzzle goes live every day at midnight, your local time.

Start by guessing a five-letter word. The letters of the word will turn green if they’re correct, yellow if you have the right letter in the wrong place, or gray if the letter isn’t in the day’s secret word at all. For more, check out our guide to playing Wordle here, and my strategy guide here for more advanced tips. (We also have more information at the bottom of this post, after the hints and answers.)

Ready for the hints? Let’s go!

Does today’s Wordle have any unusual letters?

We’ll define common letters as those that appear in the old typesetters’ phrase ETAOIN SHRDLU. (Memorize this! Pronounce it “Edwin Shirdloo,” like a name, and pretend he’s a friend of yours.)

Four of the letters are common ones today. One is maybe medium-rare.

Can you give me a hint for today’s Wordle?

It’s an electronic device, usually.

Does today’s Wordle have any double or repeated letters?

Nope, not today!

How many vowels are in today’s Wordle?

There are two (different) vowels in today’s word.

What letter does today’s Wordle start with?

Today’s word starts with P.

What letter does today’s Wordle end with?

Today’s word ends with E.

What is the solution to today’s Wordle?

Ready? Today’s word is PHONE.

How I solved today’s Wordle

Started with ARISE and TOUCH as usual. Where could the H go? TH- and SH- are out. Maybe a WH-? WHOLE confirmed the position of the H, but now what am I supposed to put as the first letter? Oh, right! PH-! It must be PHONE.

A primer on Wordle basics

The idea of Wordle is to guess the day’s secret word. When you first open the Wordle game, you’ll see an empty grid of letters. It’s up to you to make the first move: type in any five-letter word. 

Now, you can use the colors that are revealed to get clues about the word: 

• Green means you correctly guessed a letter, and it’s in the correct position. (For example, if you guess PARTY, and the word is actually PURSE, the P and R will be green.)

• Yellow means the letter is somewhere in the word, but not in the position you guessed it. (For example, if you guessed PARTY, but the word is actually ROAST, the R, A and T will all be yellow.)

• Gray means the letter is not in the solution word at all. (If you guessed PARTY and everything is gray, then the solution cannot be PURSE or ROAST.)

With all that in mind, guess another word, and then another, trying to land on the correct word before you run out of chances. You get six guesses, and then it’s game over.

The best starter words for Wordle

What should you play for that first guess? The best starters tend to contain common letters, to increase the chances of getting yellow and green squares to guide your guessing. (And if you get all grays when guessing common letters, that’s still excellent information to help you rule out possibilities.) There isn’t a single “best” starting word, but the New York Times’s Wordle analysis bot has suggested starting with one of these:

• CRANE

• TRACE

• SLANT

• CRATE

• CARTE

Meanwhile, an MIT analysis found that you’ll eliminate the most possibilities in the first round by starting with one of these:

• SALET

• REAST

• TRACE

• CRATE

• SLATE

Other good picks might be ARISE or ROUND. Words like ADIEU and AUDIO get more vowels in play, but you could argue that it’s better to start with an emphasis on consonants, using a starter like RENTS or CLAMP. Choose your strategy, and see how it plays out.

How to win at Wordle

We have a few guides to Wordle strategy, which you might like to read over if you’re a serious student of the game. This one covers how to use consonants to your advantage, while this one focuses on a strategy that uses the most common letters. In this advanced guide, we detail a three-pronged approach for fishing for hints while maximizing your chances of winning quickly.

The biggest thing that separates Wordle winners from Wordle losers is that winners use their guesses to gather information about what letters are in the word. If you know that the word must end in -OUND, don’t waste four guesses on MOUND, ROUND, SOUND, and HOUND; combine those consonants and guess MARSH. If the H lights up in yellow, you know the solution.

One more note on strategy: the original Wordle used a list of about 2,300 solution words, but after the game was bought by the NYT, the game now has an editor who hand-picks the solutions. Sometimes they are slightly tricky words that wouldn’t have made the original list, and sometimes they are topical. For example, FEAST was the solution one Thanksgiving. So keep in mind that there may be a theme.

Wordle alternatives

If you can’t get enough of five-letter guessing games and their kin, the best Wordle alternatives, ranked by difficulty, include:

• Wheeldle, which lets you play one puzzle after another

• Dordle and Quordle, which ask you to play two (Dordle) or four (Quordle) puzzles at the same time, with the same guesses. There is also Octordle, with eight puzzles, and Sedecordle, with 16.

• Waffle, which shows you several five-letter words, scrambled in a grid; you play by swapping the letters around until you solve.

• Absurdle, which changes the solution after each guess, but needs to stay consistent with its previous feedback. You have to strategically back it into a corner until there is only one possible word left; then you guess it, and win.

• Squabble, in which you play Wordle against other people with a timer running. You take damage if you spend too much time between guesses; winner is the last one standing.

• Antiwordle, in which you are trying not to guess the day’s solution. You’re required to reuse any letters that you (oops) guessed correctly, so the longer it takes you, the better you are at the game.

If you’re looking for the Wordle answer for December 25, 2023 read on. We’ll share some clues, tips, and strategies, and finally the solution. Today’s puzzle is on the tougher side; I needed five guesses to chip away at it. Beware, there are spoilers below for December 25, Wordle #919!

The only common letters in today’s word are vowels. That leaves two consonants that are definitely on the less-common side.

Can you give me a hint for today’s Wordle?

It’s not specifically Christmas-themed. The word relates to emotions and memory, perhaps even nostalgia.  

Does today’s Wordle have any double or repeated letters?

There is one letter that appears twice.

How many vowels are in today’s Wordle?

There are two different vowels, but one of them appears twice. (So, three total slots are filled with vowels.)

What letter does today’s Wordle start with?

Today’s word begins with E.

What letter does today’s Wordle end with?

Today’s word ends with E.

What is the solution to today’s Wordle?

Ready? Today’s word is EVOKE.

How I solved today’s Wordle

ARISE and TOUCH only got me the yellow O and green E. I went with GNOME next (elf-adjacent, perhaps?) but all that did was solidify the O’s position. I tried BLOKE next, and got a hit on the K as well; looks like it must be EVOKE.

Only three of the letters are in our mnemonic, but none are what I’d call unusual letters.

It can be “amazing.” Taylor Swift also sang about a “state of” it.

There are two different vowels in today’s word.

How I solved today’s Wordle

ARISE got me some promising hits. I almost guessed DRAPE next, but figured, for Christmas Eve, might the editor choose something thematic? Something tangentially holiday related? FRAME, GRAVE, no…what about GRACE? Yep, that’s it.

LG is looking to revolutionize the way that gamers pick up new monitors: Instead of forcing them to choose between super-fast refresh rates or high-resolution visuals, the company’s new UltraGear OLED lineup will offer a toggle that lets you switch between 480Hz at 1080P and 240Hz at 4K. It’s the first time we’ve seen a “dual Hz” feature on a monitor, and I can’t wait to add one to my desk.

Unveiled this past week before the tech world becomes lost in the throes of CES, the LG UltraGear 32GS95UE will let you easily swap between resolutions and refresh rates with the flip of a switch. It’s an intriguing feature that caught me off guard at first, but I’m honestly surprised we haven’t seen something like this sooner.

There are, of course, a number of reasons why a dual Hz monitor is enticing—the most important is being able to switch between resolutions and refresh rates depending on what game you’re playing. Many competitive gamers like to play their shooters and competitive titles at a lower 1080P resolution. I currently run two 4K monitors, but I usually bring their resolutions down if I’m playing a shooter and want to take advantage of the highest framerate possible on my rig. The image is still crisp, but it requires opening the monitor’s settings in Windows and manually changing it.

With the LG UltraGear 32GS95UE, I wouldn’t have to do that—I’d just need to flip the toggle switch. When running it in 1080P mode I’ll be able to take advantage of a doubled max framerate; but not all games are created equal, so when I want to play Starfield or Red Dead Redemption 2 in 4K, I won’t have to take extra steps to make that happen.

If that toggle switch wasn’t enough to sell me on it, though, there’s also the fact that the new 32-inch monitor will offer a .03-millisecond grey-to-grey response time, which is exceptionally important. Many gaming monitors offer a 1ms GtG response time, so this will help ensure there isn’t any additional artifacting or motion blur when using it.

LG has also noted that the new monitor will support high-end HDR picture, with DCI-P3 98.5 percent at 400 nits of brightness. It also comes with a virtually borderless design, which is perfect for pairing up two of these bad boys, and even built-in speakers for those days that I’m not feeling my headphones.

Honestly, the only thing holding me back on this new monitor at the moment is the price, which LG has yet to reveal. Once the company announces it, though, it’s on.
