  "account": "Today's Wordle answer is a 5-letter word that begins with the letter P. If you're looking to solve it yourself, there are a few hints to help you out. One clue is that it means \"to propose.\" Additionally, there are no double letters in today's Wordle answer. The best starting word for Wordle involves including at least two different vowels and common consonants such as S, T, R, or N. Wordle, originally created by engineer Josh Wardle, has grown into an international phenomenon, with various alternate versions like Squabble, Heardle, Dordle, and Quordle. It was eventually purchased by The New York Times. The Wordle archive is now available only to NYT Games subscribers. Don't be discouraged if you don't guess today's Wordle; there will be a new one tomorrow.",
