Thursday’s Wordle was one for those who are no stranger to the kitchen.

The objective of the online word game is to guess a secret five-letter word in six tries or less, using a series of guesses to figure it out. Once you guess a word, if any of the letters in that word appear highlighted in green, it means that letter is in the right place. If any of the letters are highlighted yellow, that letter is in the word, but it’s in the wrong space. If one of your letters is highlighted in gray, it means that letter isn’t included anywhere in the puzzle.
