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.
Today's Wordle Hints And Answer
Wordle Bot's Starting Word: SLATE
My Starting Word Today: STORE (123 words remaining)
The Hint: Ruffles, lace.
The Clue: This Wordle has a double letter.
Okay, spoilers below! The answer is coming!

.Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
STORE wasn't terrible, leaving me with 123 remaining solutions and one yellow box. BRAID cut that number down to a reasonable 12, but I still had no strong sense of where to go next. I was 99% sure the 'I' would go in the third box and I wanted to come up with something that used new letters to narrow things down, but finally just settled on GRILL. This left me with two words, but I didn't think of KRILL and guessed FRILL. Lucky for me, that was the Wordle!
The Bot and I tied with four today, earning 0 points each on this final day of July. That leaves our totals at:
Erik: 9 points
Wordle Bot: 10 points
The Bot wins this month, though just barely. On Friday, we'll start over at zero. Oh well.
The word "frill" comes from the Middle Dutch vril or vrille, meaning a wrinkle or fold. It entered English in the 17th century to describe a pleated or ruffled edging on clothing. The term later expanded metaphorically to mean anything decorative or non-essential.

Awesome JAWS Poster Art From Artist Tyler Stout Pays Tribute To Quint — GeekTyrant
I had to share this great Jaws print with you that was created by artist Tyler Stout. This was a limited edition Comic-Con exclusive of only 150 prints. They sold out at the event, but I managed to score one, and this is a beautiful peice! The poster was created for CODA Gallery. Quint, the rugged shark hunter from, is one of the most unforgettable characters in cinematic history. Played masterfully by Robert Shaw, Quint is the epitome of grit and resilience, an old-school seaman with a weathered exterior and a deep-rooted trauma that fuels his obsession. What makes Quint such a powerful character isn't just his fearlessness or bravado, but the depth of his past, especially the haunting USS Indianapolis monologue that reveals the true horror he's lived through. He's not just a shark hunter; he's a man shaped by survival, driven by vengeance, and unwilling to back down. His intensity, gruff charm, and unwavering determination make him a compelling force in the story and the emotional anchor of the film's tension.
