Day 7　读写综合
A. 回答问题
　　请阅读下面短文，根据所提供的信息，回答5个问题。要求所写答案语法正确、语义完整切题。
　　
　　How can you combine(结合) games with English learning The answer is Wordle! Wordle players must correctly guess a five－letter word with just six tries. You either win by guessing it or lose because you run out of tries. 　　Invented by software engineer Josh Wardle, the game has been popular with millions of players across the world. Every midnight, Wordle refreshes its word of the day. For example, the answer for November 3 is ALOUD. 　　As you can guess, the game gives you hints(提示). For example, if a letter is correct and in the right place, it turns green. If the letter is not in the word, it turns gray. If the letter is part of the word but in the wrong place, it turns yellow. These hints make the game into a puzzle(谜)． 　　You need knowledge to win this game, not just luck. Every syllable(音节) in an English word includes at least one vowel(元音), so finding vowels is a useful method. For example, in the word “think”， there is only one syllable and there is one vowel “i”． 　　Wordle is not only a perfect game to have fun, but also an excellent tool to help you increase your English vocabulary. Why not have a try in your spare time？
1. How many tries are there when Wordle players guess a five－letter word in Wordle
2. Who invented Wordle
3. When does Wordle refresh its word of the day
4. What color does it turn if the letter is not in the word
