Today's Wordle answer for Sunday, March 31

Blaze through the Wordle of the day at… whatever speed you like, actually. Take it nice and slow with a fresh clue for the March 31 (1016) game if that's your kinda pace, or rush your way to today's answer if that's more your style. As always, we're here to help you win Wordle, your way.

Technically this Wordle went very much the same as yesterday's, sending me running through the alphabet until there was nothing left other than today's answer. The only problem was I reached that point early on and still couldn't see the right word until I'd gone and had a quick break, giving my eyes a chance to come back to today's puzzle from a fresh angle.

Wordle help: 3 tips for beating Wordle every day 

Anyone can pick up and play Wordle, but if you want to do it well and make all of your guesses count, these quick tips will help get you started on your Wordle winning streak: 

• Choose an opener with a balanced mix of unique vowels and consonants. 
• The answer may contain the same letter, multiple times.
• Try not to use guesses that contain letters you've already eliminated. 

Thankfully, there's no time limit beyond ensuring it's done by midnight. So there's no reason not to treat the game like a casual newspaper crossword and come back to it later if you're coming up blank. Sometimes stepping away for a while means you can come back with a fresh perspective.

Wordle gives you six rows of five boxes each day, and you'll need to work out which secret five-letter word is hiding inside them to keep up your winning streak.

You should start with a strong word like ARISE, or any other word that contains a good mix of common consonants and multiple vowels. You'll also want to avoid starting words with repeating letters, as you're wasting the chance to potentially eliminate or confirm an extra letter. Once you hit Enter, you'll see which ones you've got right or wrong. If a box turns ⬛️, it means that letter isn't in the secret word at all.
