Good morning, Team Wordle. Each day, there’s a new word puzzle for you to take on, and we’re here with tips, hints and the answer for Wordle 358 on June 12.
If you prefer to cut to the chase, you can skip to the end of this article for the answer to Wordle 358 revealed. For those of you who’d rather work out the Wordle answer yourself, keep reading for some background on the game and strategies to assist you.
Wordle was originally created by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner, but soon spread internationally. Thousands of people around the globe now play this game each day, and fans have even created alternate Wordle versions inspired by the original.
This includes battle royale Squabble, music identification game Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that make you guess multiple words at once.
In fact, the word puzzle game has proved so popular that the New York Times eventually bought it, and TikTok creators livestream themselves playing.
Not the day you’re after? Here’s the Wordle answer for June 11.
What’s the best Wordle starting word?
The best Wordle starting word is the one that makes you happy. However, if you prefer a strategic approach over an emotional one, we have some ideas to help you select the perfect opening. Such tips include choosing a word with at least two different vowels in it, plus a few common consonants such as S, T, R, or N.
What happened to the Wordle archive?
One Wordle a day is all well and good, but sometimes it just isn’t enough. While you could once play the entire archive of past puzzles, the archive was taken down at the request of the New York Times, according to the site.

If you’ve been finding Wordle too easy, there is a Hard Mode you can enable to give yourself more of a challenge. But unless you activate this mode, we can assure you that Wordle isn’t getting harder.
Why are there two different Wordle answers some days?
Usually, Wordle solutions are like Highlander: There can be only one. However, occasionally the puzzle game will accept two different correct solutions on the same day, in apparent defiance of Wordle law. This aberration is due to changes the New York Times made after it acquired Wordle earlier this year.
