It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day, and there’s a new Wordle for me… and you! We’re here to help you out with the May 9 Wordle, game #324, and that means tips, clues, and today’s Wordle answer, which you can find way down the bottom of the page.
In case you’re new here: Wordle was invented by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his puzzle-loving partner, and it went super-viral in late 2021. His original game was bought by the New York Times for their Puzzle section earlier this year in a seven-figure deal.
Is the New York Times making Wordle harder now, you might have wondered? If anything, they’ve made it easier. It’s the same old Wordle, with some “harder” words given the boot. But if you’re not feeling challenged enough, you can always switch on Hard Mode, which means you can’t make any guesses that don’t have previously confirmed letters in them. (Yes, you’ve been playing on Easy Mode.)

If you just want more Wordle, all at once, try Dordle and Quordle and the bigger numbers that lie beyond. (It’s the Jazz + Jazz = Jazz of Wordle.) If you want to capitalize on your years of Star Wars or Taylor Swift expertise, try these fandom-inspired versions, or test your ears (and your nostalgia) with the music guessing game Heardle.

Why are there sometimes two different Wordle answers on the same day?
As we’ve previously reported, this is down to some changes the New York Times has made to creator Josh Wardle’s original word list to remove obscure, potentially offensive, or confusing words.
Here’s a hint for the May 9 Wordle answer:
It has to do with light.
