Here’s the answer to Wordle 278 on March 24, 2022.

Our own round was a bit of a mess, despite SLATE setting us up with the S, T, and E from the very beginning. That brought us to RESET, which helped us pin down the T, followed by GUEST to confirm the proper spots of the E and the S. Our initial assumption was the answer might be QUEST, but the grayed-out U ultimately left us with CHEST as the only viable option.

Despite the everyday nature of the word CHEST, we could see the March 24 Wordle being a deceptively tough puzzle for some folks. Our own pattern exemplifies just how difficult it may be to uncover that C and H would be hugely helpful in differentiating this word from the many others with a similar ending cadence. Both letters aren’t that common at all, so it’s likely you’ll be working from the end of the word in an attempt to uncover the rest. A more niche word with this setup would’ve been an exceptional challenge, but at least Wordle 278 features a word we’ve all heard before.
