Wordle hints today for #1,370: Clues and answer for Thursday, March 20
Hey, there! We hope you're having a great week. It sure is nice to have the sun setting later in the evening now that Daylight Savings has started in North America. While you're perhaps waiting for today's sunset, there's a new round of Wordle to check out. In case you need some help to extend your streak, here's our daily Wordle guide with some hints and the answer for Thursday's puzzle (#1,370).
It may be that you're a Wordle newcomer and you're not completely sure how to play the game. We're here to help with that too.
Wordle is a deceptively simple daily word game that first emerged in 2021. The gist is that there is one five-letter word to deduce every day by process of elimination. The daily word is the same for everyone.
Wordle blew up in popularity in late 2021 after creator Josh Wardle made it easy for players to share an emoji-based grid with their friends and followers that detailed how they fared each day. The game's success spurred dozens of clones across a swathe of categories and formats.
The New York Times purchased Wordle in early 2022 for an undisclosed sum. The publication said that players collectively played Wordle 5.3 billion times in 2024. So, it's little surprise that Wordle is one of the best online games and puzzles you can play daily.
To start playing Wordle, you simply need to enter one five-letter word. The game will tell you how close you are to that day's secret word by highlighting letters that are in the correct position in green. Letters that appear in the word but aren't in the right spot will be highlighted in yellow. If you guess any letters that are not in the secret word, the game will gray those out on the virtual keyboard.
You'll only have six guesses to find each day's word, though you still can use grayed-out letters to help narrow things down. It's also worth remembering that letters can appear in the secret word more than once.
Wordle is free to play on the NYT's website and apps, as well as on Meta Quest headsets. The game refreshes at midnight local time. If you log into a New York Times account, you can track your stats, including the all-important win streak.
If you have a NYT subscription that includes full access to the publication's games, you don't have to stop after a single round of Wordle. You'll have access to an archive of more than 1,300 previous Wordle games. So if you're a relative newcomer, you'll be able to go back and catch up on previous editions.
In addition, paid NYT Games members have access to a tool called the Wordle Bot. This can tell you how well you performed at each day's game.
Before today's Wordle hints, here are the answers to recent puzzles that you may have missed:
Yesterday's Wordle answer for Wednesday, March 19 — SPARK
Tuesday, March 18 — TIMER
Monday, March 17 — LASSO
Sunday, March 16 — STAMP
Saturday, March 15 — LADLE
Every day, we'll try to make Wordle a little easier for you. First, we'll offer a hint that describes the meaning of the word or how it might be used in a phrase or sentence. We'll also tell you if there are any double (or even triple) letters in the word.
In case you still haven't quite figured it out by that point, we'll then provide the first letter of the word. Those who are still stumped after that can continue on to find out the answer for today's Wordle.
This should go without saying, but make sure to scroll slowly. Spoilers are ahead.
Here is a hint for today's Wordle answer:
Pour melted fat or juice over meat while it cooks.
There are no repeated letters in today's Wordle answer.
The first letter of today's Wordle answer is B.
This is your final warning before we reveal today's Wordle answer. No take-backs.
Don't blame us if you happen to scroll too far and accidentally spoil the game for yourself.
What is today's Wordle? Today's Wordle answer is...
BASTE
Not to worry if you didn't figure out today's Wordle word. If you made it this far down the page, hopefully you at least kept your streak going. And, hey: there's always another game tomorrow.

NYT ‘Connections' Hints For Tuesday, June 10: Clues And Answers For Today's Game
Find the links between the words to win today's game of Connections. Each day's game of NYT Connections goes live at midnight local time. Before we get to today's Connections hints and answers, here are Monday's: Hey there, Connectors! I hope your week is off to a great start. It's official: summer is finally here. Technically, it's 11 days early, but still, I know this to be true. I know it because after months of pain and waiting the pool in my building is finally open. As I write this, I haven't had a chance to dip in yet. But rest assured, I'll be swimming as much as I can over the next few months. I prefer to do so either after immediately after I wrap up work for the day or later at night when it's quiet and no one else is around. It's quite lovely. Anyway, yes, can't wait to get back in there as soon as I have some free time and the air is safe enough (thanks for disrupting my weekend plans, wildfires). Before we begin, we have a great little community on Discord, where we chat about NYT Connections, the rest of the NYT games and all kinds of other stuff. Everyone who has joined has been lovely. It's a fun hangout spot, and you're more than welcome to hang out with us. Discord is also the best way to give me any feedback about the column, especially on the rare (or not-so-rare) occasions that I mess something up. I don't look at the comments or Twitter much. You can also read my weekend editions of this column at my new newsletter, Pastimes. FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder Today's NYT Connections hints and answers for Tuesday, June 10 are coming right up. Connections is a free, popular New York Times daily word game. You get a new puzzle at midnight every day. You can play on the NYT's website or Games app. You're presented with a grid of 16 words. Your task is to arrange them into four groups of four by figuring out the links between them. The groups could be things like items you can click, names for research study participants or words preceded by a body part. There's only one solution for each puzzle, and you'll need to be careful when it comes to words that might fit into more than one category. You can shuffle the words to perhaps help you see links between them. Each group is color coded. The yellow group is usually the easiest to figure out, blue and green fall in the middle, and the purple group is usually the most difficult one. The purple group often involves wordplay. Select four words you think go together and press Submit. If you make a guess and you're incorrect, you'll lose a life. If you're close to having a correct group, you might see a message telling you that you're one word away from getting it right, but you'll still need to figure out which one to swap. If you make four mistakes, it's game over. Let's make sure that doesn't happen with the help of some hints, and, if you're really struggling, today's Connections answers. As with Wordle and other similar games, it's easy to share results with your friends on social media and group chats. If you have an NYT All Access or Games subscription, you can access the publication's Connections archive. This includes every previous game of Connections, so you can go back and play any of those that you have missed. Aside from the first 60 games or so, you should be able to find our hints Google if you need them! Just click here and add the date of the game for which you need clues or the answers to the search query. Scroll slowly! Just after the hints for each of today's Connections groups, I'll reveal what the groups are without immediately telling you which words go into them. Today's 16 words are... And the hints for today's Connections groups are: Need some extra help? Be warned: we're starting to get into spoiler territory. Let's take a look at one word for each group. Today's Connections word hints are… Today's Connections groups are... Spoiler alert! Don't scroll any further down the page until you're ready to find out today's Connections answers. This is your final warning! Today's Connections answers are... MEDIATE made the yellows crystal clear, immediately nullifying that JUDGE and JURY red herring. TEXT BOX did the same for the greens (I assume WORD was supposed to be a trap here). Two groups down in no time at all. Because I am a person of a certain age (but still young!), RADICAL shed light on what I assumed were the blues. Naturally, I sent through what I imagined were the purples first. Or at least I tried to, because I accidentally included CHILL instead of HEAVY. Oops. I didn't figure out that connection, but I probably should have. "JURY duty" was probably my entry point there. (I considered using "Call of" in the hint, but that might have made things too easy!) Anyway, I then sent the blues through to wrap things up. I'm not going to explain these ones, because I simply cannot imagine that anyone doesn't use these all the time. I say rad, WORD and CHILL very often. (In case you were wondering, the hint referenced Wicked and Bad.) I should have had a perfect game, but that's still win 105 for my current streak. For the record, here's how I fared: 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟪🟪🟪 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟦🟦🟦🟦 That's all there is to it for today's Connections clues and answers. Be sure to check my blog tomorrow for hints and the solution for Wednesday's game if you need them. P.S. I do love a danceable indie pop tune and "Little Bit" by Lykke Li is certainly one of those. I have danced to this one many times, both at home and in clubs. It felt like this was everywhere for a while, and even now, I pretty much never skip it when it comes up on my massive everyday playlist. Such a gem of a song: Have a great day! Stay hydrated! Be kind to yourself and others! Call someone you love! Please follow my blog for more coverage of NYT Connections and other word games, and even some video game news, insights and analysis. It helps me out a lot! Sharing this column with other people who play Connections would be appreciated too. You can also read my weekend editions of this column at my new newsletter, Pastimes.
