Update: The New York Times has an editor now who sometimes hand-selects words, e.g. FEAST on Thanksgiving. Given the frequent changes, this list is now unmaintained, and the word above is probably incorrect. Feel free to continue using it if you want a random-ish word for your first guess.
That word ☝️ is yesterday's Wordle answer. Use it as your first guess for an extra challenge.

This page updates at midnight your local time, so you always see yesterday's word.
