Can't solve Wordle #1648? Here are simple hints and the answer for December 23

​If today’s Wordle is taking longer than usual, don’t worry. You are not the only one. The December 23 puzzle, Wordle #1648, looks easy but can still confuse many players.

Some words don’t jump out right away. That’s okay. This guide is here to help you without making it feel complicated.

Let’s start with a quick refresher.

What is Wordle?

Wordle is a daily word game where you guess one five-letter word. You get six tries to find the correct answer.

After every guess, the tiles change color.

Green means the letter is correct and in the right place.

Yellow means the letter is correct but in the wrong place.

Gray means the letter is not in the word at all.

That’s it. One word per day. Same puzzle for everyone.

Wordle was made in 2021 and later became part of The New York Times. Many people now play it every morning with tea, coffee, or during a short break.
