Today's Wordle answer for Saturday, May 24
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Whether you need a little or a lot of Wordle help this weekend, we've got exactly what you need ready to go. Keep it simple with a quick glance at our general tips, go a little deeper with a clue written especially for today's game, or run straight for the May 24 (1435) answer. We just want to make sure you guess after the first row felt like a cruel tease today. I was so sure I'd definitely got the answer this time. No? OK then, this time. Maybe this time, please? I could see I was slowly inching my way towards today's winning word because new green and yellow letters kept popping up, but it didn't feel like I was getting anywhere. At least by the time I hit the bottom of the board there was only one valid word left to try—panic over. A wide variety of clothes and shoes can be made out of this soft and fuzzy type of leather. Yes, there is a double letter in today's puzzle. A good starting word can be the difference between victory and defeat with the daily puzzle, but once you've got the basics, it's much easier to nail down those Wordle wins. And as there's nothing quite like a small victory to set you up for the rest of the day, here are a few tips to help set you on the right path: A good opening guess should contain a mix of unique consonants and vowels. Narrow down the pool of letters quickly with a tactical second guess. Watch out for letters appearing more than once in the answer. There's no racing against the clock with Wordle so you don't need to rush for the answer. Treating the game like a casual newspaper crossword can be a good tactic; that way, you can come back to it later if you're coming up blank. Stepping away for a while might mean the difference between a win and a line of grey squares. Enjoy a weekend win. The answer to the May 24 (1435) Wordle is SUEDE. Past Wordle answers can give you some excellent ideas for fun starting words that keep your daily puzzle-solving fresh. They are also a good way to eliminate guesses for today's Wordle, as the answer is unlikely to be repeated. Here are some recent Wordle answers: May 23: SHUCK May 22: FOLIO May 21: ALARM May 20: BORNE May 19: PITCH May 18: LIVID May 17: GROWN May 16: FIFTH May 15: EAGER May 14: BONGO Wordle gives you six rows of five boxes each day, and you'll need to work out which secret five-letter word is hiding inside them to keep up your winning streak. You should start with a strong word like ARISE, or any other word that contains a good mix of common consonants and multiple vowels. You'll also want to avoid starting words with repeating letters, as you're wasting the chance to potentially eliminate or confirm an extra letter. Once you hit Enter, you'll see which ones you've got right or wrong. If a box turns ⬛️, it means that letter isn't in the secret word at all. 🟨 means the letter is in the word, but not in that position. 🟩 means you've got the right letter in the right spot. Your second guess should compliment the starting word, using another "good" word to cover any common letters you missed last time while also trying to avoid any letter you now know for a fact isn't present in today's answer. With a bit of luck, you should have some coloured squares to work with and set you on the right path. After that, it's just a case of using what you've learned to narrow your guesses down to the right word. You have six tries in total and can only use real words (so no filling the boxes with EEEEE to see if there's an E). Don't forget letters can repeat too (ex: BOOKS). If you need any further advice feel free to check out our Wordle tips, and if you'd like to find out which words have already been used you can scroll to the relevant section above. Originally, Wordle was dreamed up by software engineer Josh Wardle, as a surprise for his partner who loves word games. From there it spread to his family, and finally got released to the public. The word puzzle game has since inspired tons of games like Wordle, refocusing the daily gimmick around music or math or geography. It wasn't long before Wordle became so popular it was sold to the New York Times for seven figures. Surely it's only a matter of time before we all solely communicate in tricolor boxes.

Saturn Enters Aries for First Time in Almost 30 Years and 4 Zodiac Signs Are in for a Huge Reality Check
The taskmaster is calling, and it's time to level up! On May 24, Saturn will enter Aries for the first time in almost 30 years — entering the Fire sign in 1996 and leaving in 1999 — and things are about to change in a major way. This is especially true for Cardinal signs — Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn — as this transit kicks off a brand-new chapter. Often referred to as the Lord of Karma, Saturn is the planet of discipline, structure and boundaries. In a fiery and hot-headed sign like Aries, Saturn is considered to be in its fall, which means it's a hard placement for the taskmaster planet. Aries is bold, impulsive and action-oriented, while Saturn is pragmatic, disciplined and methodical. This is precisely what makes this transit so transformative, as Saturn's arrival here challenges us to take responsibility for ourselves. Do you take yourself seriously? No more playing it small. Your dreams need a practical plan, and it's time to make bold moves with intention, rather than rushing headfirst without structure. Saturn in Aries asks you to embrace your autonomy, take charge and build a solid foundation for your ambitions. The stabilizing energy of Saturn brings a much-needed reality check to Aries' 'jump first, think later' approach. If you've had any illusions about instant success, think again. This Saturn transit is asking you to take the lead but with effort, consistency and hard work. This will, in turn, redefine your sense of independence and strength, urging you to balance that fire and passion with responsibility and integrity. The taskmaster's ingress into Aries could manifest as a major reality check, particularly for those who have been avoiding commitment or struggling to follow through on their personally or professionally, the areas of life that require more focus, responsibility and accountability will be highlighted. The cosmos is asking you to stop procrastinating and start building the life you've been dreaming of, one step at a time. While it might feel like a heavy shift at first, Saturn acknowledges and rewards hard work and dedication, so get ready to see results… but only if you're willing to put in the work! After its debut in Aries, Saturn will continue to transit this Fire sign until it stations retrograde on July 13, eventually re-entering Pisces on Sept. 1 and stationing direct on Nov. 27, 2025. In the meantime, read on for what Saturn in Aries has in store for you according to your zodiac sign.
