If you still haven’t beaten today’s Wordle even with the clues provided above, the answer is below…
The answer to today’s Wordle is “INTRO“.
What Does Today’s Wordle Word Mean?
The word “Intro” can be both a noun and a prefix. As a noun, “Intro” is the shortened and somewhat informal form of “introduction”. This can be used to describe the opening part of various forms of media, or what happens when someone introduces you to a friend or colleague. As a prefix, it sits at the start of several words, including “introduction,” “introverted,” and “introjection”.
What’s the Origin of Today’s Wordle Word?
According to the Online Etymology Dictionary, the word “Intro” only originated in the 1920s. Before that, people would have only ever used the full word, “introduction”. The word “introduction” comes from the Old French word “introduccion” and from the Latin word “introductionem” meaning a leading in. Therefore, the literal meaning has not changed for many hundreds of years.
Our Top Wordle Tips (to Beat It Every Day)
- Choose a good starting word. There are plenty to choose from, so pick one from our list of the best Wordle starting words.
- Try to eliminate all five vowels early. As there are only a handful of vowels, it’s best to use them all within the first 2-3 guesses.
- Use popular letters early. As well as the vowels, letters such as T, S, N, R, H, C, D, and L appear most commonly in English words.
- Take your time over your guesses. Wordle isn’t timed, so there’s no rush to complete it. You can even guess on paper first.
- Remember that letters can appear twice (and often do). Keep this in mind when guessing, as forgetting it can lead you to mess up.
