EDITOR'S NOTE: This article is for Wordle answer #316; the May 2nd Wordle answer is available now.
It's May 1st and another little colored emoji boxes everywhere but recently it seems the game is being played a bit more quietly. Despite its decline in social media posts, there are still many players who have adapted Wordle into their normal morning routine. The game is a perfect start to get the brain moving before a long day of work, or as a nice break in the middle of the day.
If players are starting to find the game too easy, Wordle does provide a Hard Mode that can be turned on in the options menu. Located in the top-right corner of the screen, Hard Mode adds a few extra rules to the main game. Players are no longer able to use letters that have been proven incorrect in a previous guess. This rule stops the classic 2-word starting combo and requires a little more critical thinking when coming up with the next guess. Letters that have been proven correct, or ones that are correct but in the wrong position, must be used in future guesses. Some players actually find that this mode will make the game easier as it forces the players to think of words that fit the criteria instead of wasting guesses on obviously incorrect words.

Today's Wordle Hints (May 1st #316)
Today's Wordle answer is FORGO.
Not an often used word, forgo means to decline or refrain from something. For our starting Wordle word today we used ROAST, which provided an incorrectly placed 'R' and a correctly placed 'O'. The second word we guessed was LOVER, which only provided us with another incorrect placement of the 'R' and a few more incorrect letters. MORON was the third guess which showed that there was a repeated 'O', we just had it in the wrong spot. Finally, after avoiding an obvious word that we assumed would be omitted from the Wordle dictionary, we guessed FORGO and got it correct in four guesses.
