EDITOR'S NOTE: This article is for Wordle answer #488; the October 21st Wordle answer is available now.
October 20th's Wordle answer might not be too difficult to solve without sacrificing the daily streak, as it is a common garment worn by many. Players might be able to solve today's solution in less than six attempts, provided they use strategic starting words that can identify the vowel in the middle. Finding the correct spot of vowels is a common tactic many Wordle players use as it does give a fair idea about the answer. However, for some reason, players are unable to locate the correct position of the vowel from today's answer; they might have better luck using Wordle's different mode.
Many players prefer to use Wordle's hard mode as it lets them practice strategies that can be used in the regular mode as well. Unfortunately, this mode does not allow players to use confirmed letters in a random spot, making finding the correct position of a vowel slightly tricky. However, once players identify a vowel's correct position in this mode, they are forced to use words that feature the vowel in the exact spot and, in the process, identify other letters from today's Wordle answer.
