The Wordle answer for Monday, October 3 is not nearly as complicated as some of the very challenging past ones, but you might still require some hints to edge you closer to the answer.

According to The New York Times' Wordle bot, most users have solved the puzzle in 3.9 tries, meaning the difficulty level is certainly not low.

If your goal is to beat your score from yesterday, or if you've already exhausted a few attempts unsuccessfully this morning, then we are back with five hints to give you the kickstart.

However, If you're only interested in finding the answer for Wordle #471, you can scroll to the bottom of the article.

We suggest you try the letter 'S'.

Wordle Hint No. 2
