EDITOR'S NOTE: This article is for Wordle answer #325; the May 11th Wordle answer is available now.
The May 10th Wordle's Hard Mode on. Hard Mode locks-in previous hints during the game which stops players from using letters that have been proven incorrect. It also forces the player to use the letters which have been shown to be correct. This mode could help solve the daily puzzle quicker since there will be no wasted guesses on obviously incorrect answers.
The game of Wordle is played on a 5x6 grid and tasks players with guessing a single five-letter word, which changes daily, within six guesses. After a single word is guessed the game will provide hints in the form of colored boxes. A letter is highlighted in green, it is correct, yellow means correct but in the wrong position, and grey means the letter doesn't belong in the correct answer at all. Using these hints, players keep guessing until they get the right answer, or run out of chances.

Today's Wordle Answer (May 10th #325)
The May 10th Wordle answer is GECKO.
Certainly one of the cuter species of the lizard family, geckos are a nocturnal lizard that can climb smooth surfaces due to the pads on its feet. For today's starting Wordle word we used ROAST, which only provided a few incorrect letters and one 'O' placed in the wrong spot. For our second attempt we tried BLOND, this added to the incorrect letter pile and showed another spot that 'O' doesn't go. Our third guess was HIPPO which solidified the correct placement of the 'O' but, again, only added to the incorrect letter pile. After a long pause, there were only a few possible choices for our fourth guess and we got lucky by staying in the animal kingdom with GECKO. This provided a win in four and another successful Wordle puzzle solved.
