How To Solve Today’s Wordle

How To Play Wordle

Wordle is a daily word puzzle game where your goal is to guess a hidden five-letter word in six tries or fewer. After each guess, the game gives feedback to help you get closer to the answer:

• Green: The letter is in the word and in the correct spot.
• Yellow: The letter is in the word, but in the wrong spot.
• Gray: The letter is not in the word at all.

Use these clues to narrow down your guesses. Every day brings a new word, and everyone around the world is trying to solve the same puzzle. Some Wordlers also play Competitive Wordle against friends, family, the Wordle Bot or even against me, your humble narrator. See rules for Competitive Wordle toward the end of this post.

Okay, spoilers below! The answer is coming!

Wordle Bot Analysis

Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordle score with Wordle Bot right here.

MAGIC was a surprisingly good opening guess, and rather fitting given today’s Wordle. With 66 words left, SPORE slashed that number down by 60 and I thought ELFIN was a nice pairing for MAGIC so that’s what I guessed on #4. Lucky for me, that was the Wordle!

Today’s Wordle Etymology

“Elfin” comes from “elf” + the suffix “-in,” meaning “pertaining to” or “characteristic of.” “Elf” itself derives from Old English ælf, from Proto-Germanic albiz, referring to a supernatural being.

Originally, “elfin” (16th century) meant “of or relating to elves,” but it later took on the sense of something small, delicate, mischievous, or otherworldly in appearance.
