IF you’re struggling with today’s Wordle challenge you’re not alone.

Makers say the latest puzzle is “by far the hardest” ever.

Latest Wordle ‘by far the hardest’

The New York Times – who bought the popular game earlier this year – has revealed that only four in ten people have managed to solve the tough test in six turns.

“Based on 111,215 Wordles played today (Friday), only 43 percent of players have solved the puzzle in six turns,” the paper said.

“It’s by far the hardest puzzle since the bot started keeping records in April, and probably well before that.”

Fans of the game who pride themselves on maintaining a series of unbroken daily wins have blasted it as a total “streak breaker”.

Some of the very best with a winning streak into hundreds of days have been defeated.

“My absolute worst day on #wordle!!!” one player tweeted.

“My day, my weekend, my streak… all ruined!!!”

Another vented: “My first defeat after 189 games. I’m not happy.”
