If you also hate Mondays, like Garfield, then you might just need a win. If you're eager to see those tiles flash green, you can find the solution below:

The answer to today's Wordle is: HINGE.

The hinge is the unsung hero of the home. Hinges are the little metal mechanisms that allow your door to swing open, preventing you from banging into them all the time like a cartoon character. Hinge is also the name of a popular dating app because, as they sing in Frozen 2, love is an open door. That's probably the reason, anyway. Hopefully we didn't start an argument with your partner by making you search 'popular dating apps' on the internet.

To avoid starting arguments yourself, make sure you keep today's Wordle solution a secret. Everyone has their own Wordle routine, and a friend or family member may be waiting to puzzle it out in the evening, so don't ruin the solution for others.
