Today's Wordle #1511 Hints And Answer For Friday, August 8th
How To Solve Today's Wordle
Not only is it 2XP Friday for Competitive Wordle players—double your points, positive or negative!—I have the answer for yesterday's brain-teaser. I usually do these on Wordle Wednesdays but I forgot this week, so we did one on Thursday instead. This was the puzzle:
Odin has challenged five Norse gods—Thor, Loki, Freyja, Tyr, and Baldur—to each build their own mighty mead hall in Valhalla. Each hall is made from a different material (wood, gold, bones, stone and ice) and has a different capacity (measured in barrels of mead: 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000).
No two gods share the same material or capacity.
Can you figure out which god built their hall with which material, and how many barrels of mead each one holds?

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:
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.

Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
I wasn't very lucky with SPORE, which gave me a green E and left me with 153 possible solutions. I tried to think of a good word that cut the 'E' out of it for my second guess, but ended up settling on AGILE. That cut the remaining words down to just 9. UNTIE gave me one more yellow box and left me with just one possible solution: IMBUE for the win!
The Bot and I each get 0 points for guessing in four and 0 for tying. You can't double that for 2XP Friday. Our totals for August remain:
Erik: 4 points
Wordle Bot: 0 points
The word "imbue" comes from the Latin imbuere, meaning 'to moisten' or 'to saturate.' This passed into Old French as embue, and then into English in the late Middle Ages. Over time, the meaning broadened from literally soaking something to figuratively infusing it with qualities like emotion, meaning, or spirit.
