Today’s Wordle answer #253, Sunday, February 27
So, what is today’s Wordle answer for game #253?
Drumroll please — it’s… CHANT.
As with yesterday’s Wordle answer, SPILL, this is seemingly causing people less trouble than some other recent solutions. Wordle #253 is not trending (or at least not for bad reasons) and I’m seeing plenty of 3/6 and 4/6 scores from others.
CHANT is a reasonably common word in the English language, ranking at 6,982 according to Word and Phrase Info.
I’d also imagine most people know what it means. Here’s some of Merriam-Webster’s definition:
- to make melodic sounds with the voice
- to recite something in a monotonous repetitive tone
- a rhythmic monotonous utterance or song
If you’re interested, I did it in 2/6 today, so yes I’m pretty pleased with it as an answer.
Obviously, there is a lot of luck involved, because I could have guessed something else. However, using one of the best Wordle start words does help.
The other factor is that (mainly from writing this column) I now have a pretty good grasp of the most common Wordle patterns.
For example, I know that CH is one of the most common ways to start a word. In fact, it’s the most common once you remove the letters that I already knew were not in the answer after my first guess (the two most common starts are ST and SH and I knew there was no S in it).
Also, I know that T is a very common letter to end with. Only E and Y appear at the end of more words than T does. CHANT is what I came up with when I put together those two little pieces of information. This time, I was lucky and got the answer right. I’m sure I’ll be back at 4/6 or 5/6 tomorrow.

Please tell me more about Wordle, if you can
Only at the end of the year did Wordle become popular, then become global in January as the globe awoke to its charms. As a result, the New York Times purchased Wordle in early February for a seven-figure amount and the game is now a part of the NYT Games portfolio.
It may be played on the NYT Games website here, and it’s completely free. The New York Times and the game’s designer, Josh Wardle, have both affirmed that the game would stay free. Wordle hasn’t become any tougher since the NYT took control, despite popular belief.
You get six chances to guess a five-letter word in Wordle’s basic game. Each time you make a guess, you’ll be notified which of your selected letters are in the target word and whether or not they’re in the correct position.
It becomes green if a letter is positioned correctly. Yellow indicates that it is at the improper position in the text. When the term does not include it, it becomes grey.
Every day, the same problem is given to all participants. We’ve compiled the greatest Wordle alternatives to keep you entertained while you wait for it to reset at 7 p.m. ET each day. These include Squabble, the four-Wordles-at-once Quordle, and the outstanding Absurdle. Additionally, the Wordle clone Worldle, the Star Wars-themed SWordle, and the math-based Mathler are also excellent choices. Another option is the unauthorised Wordle Unlimited, which allows you unlimited daily use and allows you to choose the word’s letter count from four to an insane eleven. source
