EDITOR'S NOTE: This article is for Wordle answer #222, the January 28th Wordle answer is available now.

January 27th's Wordle was not one of the more difficult words so far this year, but could still pose a challenge to some. Wordle is still going strong on social media as many people continue to make it part of their daily routine. It's difficult to scroll through Twitter without seeing at least one post made up of those iconic little yellow and green boxes. Even Wordle memes have started popping up, proving it has set itself into the public consciousness.

The rules of Wordle are pretty straightforward and easily learned after a few attempts. Players need to guess a single five-letter word within six guesses. After entering the first guess the website highlights certain letters green if they are correct, yellow if they are correct but in the wrong spot, or grey if they are not in the word at all. With this information, players need to try to figure out the word within the six guesses to be successful. Having a strong Wordle starting word is important as some will offer much more information than others.

Players can share their daily Wordle answer attempts on social media through a function on the website. Clicking the green 'Share' button after successfully, or unsuccessfully, guessing the word will automatically copy the attempt to the player's clipboard. This includes each attempt, represented by simple boxes, and doesn't actually reveal the answer so as not to spoil it for others. With the information copied, players can go to their favorite social media and paste the information for their network. This is most definitely the secret to Wordle's success, with so many people every day sharing their little boxes for the world to see.
