How to cheat at Wordle
The latest social-media craze is Wordle, the simple game where you have six guesses to match the game's five-letter word. Five green squares means you've succeeded, and can rack up likes on Twitter and Facebook. But there are at least three simple ways to cheat at Wordle—including a way to discover Wordle's word in advance for the next days or weeks. We have Wordle spoilers!
We're not trying to ruin Wordle, which has become a fun activity for millions. But we couldn't really ignore a Wordle hack that is literally right under your nose. And if you want to one-up a friend who is constantly bragging about their Wordle prowess, well….It's really no different than the Pokemon Go maps of a few years ago, is it?
How to beat Wordle using WordHippo
Let's start with Wordle 213, whose solution stumped Twitter. Many people discovered that the first three letters were P-R-O…and then absolutely failed to guess the last two letters, X and Y. Naturally, Wordlers probably considered more common words like “proud” and “prowl” first. But what words would make sense?

Enter WordHippo, a nifty little tool that allows you to select words with different characteristics. The link leads to “five-letter words beginning with PRO,” but the page includes an advanced word search of varying length, with a selection of letters that you decide, and in varying configurations. As you start ruling out letters, the site can give you a smaller and smaller pool of potential words to guess from. Using WordHippo isn't necessarily a Wordle “cheat,” per se, but it's close.
How to fake a Wordle win
You've had a bad day. You just want a quick Wordle win to make you feel good and to receive a few virtual pats on your back.

If you happen to win Wordle, great. But if you lose, Wordle will print the solution at the top of your screen. Simply open Wordle in Google Chrome's Incognito Mode or the Microsoft Edge InPrivate mode, complete the puzzle (or not) and note the winning word. Then close the Incognito / InPrivate mode and play Wordle in your browser, with all of your cookies enabled. You'll win Wordle, preserve your winning streak, and gain the approval of your friends.
How to hack Wordle: Find out tomorrow's Wordle word
The final way of cheating at Wordle is much more insidious. Are you ready for the twist? All of the Wordle answers are already in Wordle.
Josh Wardle, who designed Wordle, clearly didn't want to spend every day re-uploading a new puzzle, so he simply placed all of the solutions within the puzzle's code. Since the Wordle puzzles refresh once per day, that means there are potential answers for a long, long time.
Specifically, the Wordle answers can be found within the Javascript that accompanies the Wordle site. (We didn't discover this trick ourselves, but were tipped off to its existence by a source who wishes to remain anonymous.) Want to know the Wordle answers for tomorrow, the next week, or for the next few months or years? Here's how to do it.
Mark Hachman / IDG
First, use Google Chrome to open the Wordle website. Using the Chrome “ellipsis menu” in the upper right, scroll down to More tools>Developer tools. The site contains a few Javascript files, though you can eliminate the Google tag manager and the index.
Instead, open the file underneath the index, which on the page I loaded was main.c1506a22.js. Yes, you'll see a ton of code, much of which isn't worth poking through. The solutions, however, are hidden in an array file, in plaintext. You can use Chrome's “pretty print” feature, which should appear in a button at the top of the page. Otherwise, you can simply copy the entire text block into a text editor, or just something like Word.
There are a number of GitHub pages that have tried to calculate the methods of determining the next entry in the Wordle word list, like this one. But it seems that the Wordle site has already calculated the list of Wordle solutions for the next few months—because they're right there in the source code. The easiest way to find that list is to simply look for the words that were the most recent solution. (We've tracked this for a day or two before publishing and it seems like the pattern has been consistent.) Simply do a Ctrl+F search for the most recent solution, then go to the next word in the list. That's it!
Wordle spoilers: The next Wordle words
Spoilers ahead. If this pattern holds true, then here are the Wordle solutions for the next week (this article was filed on Monday, but ran Thursday). Remember, a new Wordle game goes live at midnight based on your time zone, so Wordle games may already be live in other regions of the world. Changing your PC's clock to a day or two in advance doesn't seem to make a difference—in other words, you can't play a new round of Wordle early.

Tuesday, Jan. 19: POINT
Wednesday, Jan. 20: ROBOT
Thursday, Jan. 21: PRICK
Friday, Jan. 22: WINCE
Saturday, Jan 23: CRIMP

Is Wordle ruined?
Of course not. There's nothing preventing you from walking a golf course with a ball in your pocket, dropping it in the hole, and claiming a hole-in-one on every hole. If you want to play the game honestly, you can. If you don't, you don't. All this does is invalidate the online braggadocio about who's better at Wordle. And let's face it: All the developer would have to do is to randomize the solution every day to make this Wordle hack untenable.
In other words, just like a friendly game of cards, you can still play Wordle with friends, or to challenge yourself. Just be suspicious of anyone who finds the solution a little too easily. And as David Letterman says: Remember, no wagering.

Realbox launches one of world’s first blockchain-based real estate tokenization platforms
London, UK, Jan 20, 2022 - (ACN Newswire) - Realbox is launching one of the world's first blockchain-based real estate tokenization platforms. Their technology gives retail investors the opportunity to share ownership in global real estate investments, without incurring expensive costs and going through complicated transactions.
Blockchain technology has taken the world by storm via the decentralized finance sector and also transformed the real estate sector and the way we invest in tangible assets. Through tokenization, the tangible asset can be divided into digital tokens that represents fractional ownership of the asset. These tokens would be traded securely on a blockchain ledger and are made accessible to worldwide investors. The smart contract in each token would ensure every owner receives their share of the asset's net rental income.
Realbox's blockchain-based real estate tokenization platform offers numerous advantages over traditional methods of dealing in real estate. These include increasing liquidity and transparency, enhancing security, and simplifying management. The project aims to create an ecosystem for real estate tokenization, bring together a solid combined experience in real estate development, fund management and blockchain technology. The project is the beginning of a new way to invest, own and connect to our existing and future tangible assets. Through the concept of asset tokenization, all types of investors will now be able to take part in the real estate market.
Democratizing access to real estate investment
2021 was the year Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) went mainstream. Artists, collectors and investors have found fertile ground in the blockchain space, where they can trade and speculate on the price of intangible assets. More importantly, do it seamlessly without auctioneers or any other middlemen. This is where Realbox's real estate solution comes in. With as little as $100, any user can simply purchase the fractionalized NFTs called REB NFT and be invested in the real estate market.
The vision for Realbox is to capture real estate capital growth, rental income and secure the same for other valuable assets that can be tokenized. This also includes the transaction fees and advertising traditionally associated with the management of these assets.
Globally experienced management team
The management team is combined by both traditional businesses as well as technology and blockchain development. Realbox's management team has held senior positions in multinational companies worldwide, such as CBRE, Colliers International, KPMG, etc… In addition, Realbox partners include some of the largest property developers, real estate agencies, and financial institutions in Southeast Asia, Australia, Dubai, Europe, and the USA.
A comprehensive ecosystem of services
The project is a tokenization platform that facilitates the conversion of real estate into non-fungible tokens (NFTs), before tokenizing them into security tokens which are backed by real physical assets. Realbox also provides diversified offers to investors including:
- A real estate metaverse where Realbox facilitates the creating, buying, and selling of virtual property along with a full suite of services that are provided by the Realbox ecosystem.
- A marketplace that facilitates the trading of asset-backed tokens (security tokens) including real estate and other real, physical assets. The exchange increases the tradability and liquidity of the security tokens.
- Asset Management services include property management, building operations and maintenance, facilities management, lease administration, property accounting and financial reporting, contract management and construction management.
Realbox Smart Invest is an automated, algorithm-driven platform enabled by AI to help investors select the best investment opportunities based on their risk and return profile.
Investment Management services include real estate analysis, asset selection, monitoring of existing investments, as well as portfolio strategy and implementation.
Governance and security tokens
Realbox offers two types of tokens: a utility token (REB token) and security tokens.
Governance token (REB) is the native utility token of the Realbox platform. REB is used to pay for service fees in the Realbox ecosystem including listing, subscription, transaction, borrowing fees and paying dividends. Holders can have unlimited upside potential due to high transaction fees from increasing assets under management over time. Furthermore, holders can receive a discount to purchase security tokens and earn profits from staking.
Security tokens represent a tokenized share of a property and entitles its holder to a share of profits in the property. The property could be an individual property or a portfolio of properties. The holders have the right to receive monthly rental income reports from underlying properties and a certificate of the trust agreement to represent the ownership of the security token.
The IDO is expected to be launched in Q1 2022
Since its launch in 2021, Realbox has been getting a lot of attention in the community. Eager investors will be able to purchase REB in Q1 2022. "Realbox is a pioneer in real estate tokenization through blockchain technology. We aim to become a global investment platform for real estate globally," said Dr. Alex Pham, Realbox Co-founder.
