Today’s Wordle Hints & Clues

Examining the official Wordle parameters for today reveals crucial data points to steer your guesses:

  • Wordle Bot’s Starting Word: SLATE
  • My Starting Word Today: CHOIR (276 words left)
  • The Hint: Clothing. Either a verb for putting it on or a noun for a type of clothing typically worn by women.
  • The Clue: This Wordle has a double letter.

The term originates from the Old French dresser, meaning to arrange, prepare, or set upright, which traces back to the Latin directus, meaning straight or directed, from dirigere. Entering Middle English as a way to put things in order, the definition evolved to focus on arranging clothing on the body. Older meanings survive in phrases like dress a wound or dress a salad.

Today’s Wordle Bot Analysis

Reviewing guessing performance through the Wordle Bot offers a clear analytical lens:

Opening with CHOIR left 276 potential words on the board. The Wordle Bot’s preferred starting word, SLATE, narrowed the field to just three options. A subsequent guess of PRESS ultimately led to the correct solution: DRESS.

The Wordle Bot and your guide both finished in four tries, resulting in a tie and zero points for the day.
