Wordle hints today for #1,381: Clues and answer for Monday, March 31
Hey, there! Welcome to the start of a new week. To get it rolling on a positive note, let's make sure we keep your Wordle streak intact. To help with that, here's our daily Wordle guide with some hints and the answer for Monday's puzzle (#1,381). 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 Sunday, March 30 — QUOTA Saturday, March 29 — SORRY Friday, March 28 — VERSE Thursday, March 27 — SHEET Wednesday, March 26 — ELBOW 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: Treasure seized by pirates or the part of the body that you use to sit. There is a pair of 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.

Meet Brax, the Richmond rapper immortalized in a Northside mural
Her name was Braxton Baker. She was a rapper, a poet and a fashion icon — and she was from Richmond. Why it matters: One of the biggest murals in Brookland Park is dedicated to her, and we thought you should know about her if you don't already. State of play: Baker, known as "Brax," died nearly five years ago at the age of 21 due to cardiac arrhythmia. Her family unveiled this mural from artist J. Ford in June 2021 on the same wall as Da Spot recording studio, where Brax "spent a sizable chunk of her childhood," per the Richmond Times-Dispatch. The studio has had artists like Kendrick Lamar, Ashanti and Rick Ross record there. Zoom in: Brax was helping teach dance classes by age 7 and went on to be a dance captain at Henrico High School, where she graduated in 2016. Her debut mixtape "VERSE(atility)" in 2017 cemented her rise in the music industry, and when she died, outlets like Essence, Billboard, Variety and ENews posted tributes. Her mother Letricia Loftin also said in an Instagram post that Brax was working on two albums and three novels at the time of her death. Even now, people keep commenting under Brax's Instagram posts, writing "We will never forget about u" and "you are so missed."
