Today’s Wordle answer:

No luck? Don’t worry, sometimes it’s tricky. Today’s Wordle answer is … AWASH.

 

Today’s Wordle definition:

“Awash” can mean a couple of things:

• Literal Meaning: Covered with or surrounded by water. For example, “The shore was awash with the rising tide” means the shore was flooded with water.
• Figurative Meaning: Overwhelmed with a large quantity of something, like ideas or emotions. For instance, “The company was awash with new ideas” means the company had an abundance of new ideas.

In both cases, “awash” implies being thoroughly covered or inundated by something.

 

Tips for tomorrow’s Wordle:

Wordle might seem like it’s all luck, but there are some strategies to improve your chances:

1. First Guess: Choose a word with lots of vowels (A, E, I, O, U) to figure out which vowels are in the mystery word. Good options include “adieu,” “media,” “arise,” and “radio.” Avoid words with double letters.
2. Second Guess: Based on your first guess, focus more on common consonants like R, S, and T. Words like “stern,” “irate,” and “atone” are solid choices. Never reuse letters that showed up as gray in previous guesses since you know they aren’t in the word.

Keep these tips in mind, and happy puzzling!
