September 17th brings a new Wordle word for players to solve, and today’s answer could easily ruin a long-standing win streak. There are many different types of difficulty adjusters when it comes to Wordle. Repeated letters are a simple way to throw players off their game, or common suffixes, like Wordle words that end in ‘ING’ or ‘ED’. Each of these little changes can challenge a player in different ways. It’s easy to forget that there can be a repeated vowel when players are staring at blank spaces.

For those that prefer an even harder challenge, there are a number of copycat games that increase the difficulty by a lot. Quordle is a game where players are tasked with solving four separate Wordles at the exact same time. Having to balance each game while constricted to only ten guesses overall is incredibly difficult, even for the most seasoned players. Other options include a Name-That-Tune type game called Heardle which tasks players with guessing a popular song with only a one-second clip. With so many options available, there is something for everyone’s taste.

Today’s Wordle Answer (September 17th #455)

The answer to today’s Wordle is CHUTE.

For our game today we were incredibly lucky, using our standard starting Wordle word IRATE, we were able to get two correct letters in their correct positions, the ‘T’ and the ‘E’. Using this information we simply broke down what other possible vowel could be used. It had to be either a repeated ‘E’, an ‘O’; or a ‘U’. Right off the bat, we thought about ‘U’ and the only possible choices would be CHUTE or FLUTE, so we tried CHUTE and successfully scored a Wordle win-in-two.
