Five daring fantasy thieves—a nimble Elf, a sneaky Goblin, a fleet-footed Satyr, a gruff Dwarf, and a hulking Troll—have just pulled off the heist of the century. They've broken into the King's heavily guarded vault and escaped with five glittering treasure chests filled with royal gold, enchanted relics, and priceless jewels.
Now, under cover of night, the thieves arrive at a narrow rope bridge dangling over a mist-filled chasm deep in the Whispering Mountains. It's just past midnight, and the dense forest canopy blocks out the moonlight—making it pitch black. The bridge is their only escape.
But time is running out. The King's elite guards are already in pursuit — and they will reach the bridge in exactly half an hour.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it:
Get all five chests and every member of the crew across the bridge in time, and cut the ropes before the guards arrive.
The Rules of Escape:
The thieves each move at different speeds (times indicate crossing one way):
You must get all five thieves and all five treasure chests across the bridge before the 30-minute deadline, then cut the ropes to leave the King's men stranded on the other side. Will the thieves escape or will the King have his justice?
The Answer: Yes, but only just barely. Here's the breakdown.
Trip #1
11 minutes total — Troll and 1 chest are on the far side.
Trip #2
6 minutes + 11 minutes = 17 minutes total — Troll, Dwarf and 2 chests are on the far side.
Trip #3
5 minutes + 17 minutes = 22 minutes — Troll, Dwarf and Satyr plus 3 chests are on the far side.
Trip #4
5 minutes + 22 minutes = 27 minutes — Troll, Dwarf and Goblin, plus 4 chests are on the far side.
Trip #5
3 minutes + 27 minutes = 30 minutes — Troll, Dwarf, Goblin, Elf and Satyr plus 5 chests are now on the far side.
The King's guards arrive just as the last chest is delivered and the Troll uses his axe to hack down the rope bridge. The thieves make off with their riches, but the King puts a hefty bounty on their heads. They'll be looking over their shoulders from here on out, and there may not be a chasm and wobbly bridge to save them next time . . .
Now let's solve this Wordle!
The Hint: Cut.
The Clue: This Wordle has two vowels in a row and two consonants in a row.
Okay, spoilers below!

Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
My opening guess was GREAT—literally. Only five words remained, but everything I cam up with was some version of S?EAR. So I figured out a word that eliminated as many of the possible letters as possible and guessed SWAMP. That did the trick! Only SHEAR remained. Huzzah!
Today's Wordle Bot
At last, I have a win for April. I get 1 point for guessing in three and another for beating the Bot. The Bot gets 0 for guessing in four and -1 for losing to me, narrowing our totals to:
Erik: -1 points
Wordle Bot: 2 points
The word "shear" comes from Old English scearan (past tense of scieran), meaning "to cut, cleave, or shear." It is related to the Proto-Germanic skeran, which also means "to cut," and ultimately derives from the Proto-Indo-European root sker- meaning "to cut or split."

Wordle hints today for #1,452: Clues and answer for Tuesday, June 10
Hey, there! We hope your week is off to a great start, and that includes keeping your Wordle streak rolling along. Here's our daily Wordle guide with some hints and the answer for Tuesday's puzzle (#1,452). It may be that you're a Wordle newcomer and you're not completely sure how to play the game. We're here to help with that too. Wordle is a deceptively simple daily word game that first emerged in 2021. The gist is that there is one five-letter word to deduce every day by process of elimination. The daily word is the same for everyone. Wordle blew up in popularity in late 2021 after creator Josh Wardle made it easy for players to share an emoji-based grid with their friends and followers that detailed how they fared each day. The game's success spurred dozens of clones across a swathe of categories and formats. The New York Times purchased Wordle in early 2022 for an undisclosed sum. The publication said that players collectively played Wordle 5.3 billion times in 2024. So, it's little surprise that Wordle is one of the best online games and puzzles you can play daily. To start playing Wordle, you simply need to enter one five-letter word. The game will tell you how close you are to that day's secret word by highlighting letters that are in the correct position in green. Letters that appear in the word but aren't in the right spot will be highlighted in yellow. If you guess any letters that are not in the secret word, the game will gray those out on the virtual keyboard. However, you can still use those letters in subsequent guesses. You'll only have six guesses to find each day's word, though you still can use grayed-out letters to help narrow things down. It's also worth remembering that letters can appear in the secret word more than once. Wordle is free to play on the NYT's website and apps, as well as on Meta Quest headsets and Discord. The game refreshes at midnight local time. If you log into a New York Times account, you can track your stats, including the all-important win streak. If you have a NYT subscription that includes full access to the publication's games, you don't have to stop after a single round of Wordle. You'll have access to an archive of more than 1,400 previous Wordle games. So if you're a relative newcomer, you'll be able to go back and catch up on previous editions. In addition, paid NYT Games members have access to a tool called the Wordle Bot. This can tell you how well you performed at each day's game. Before today's Wordle hints, here are the answers to recent puzzles that you may have missed: Yesterday's Wordle answer for Monday, June 9 — BOARD Sunday, June 8 — LEASE Saturday, June 7 — REUSE Friday, June 6 — EDIFY Thursday, June 5 — DATUM Every day, we'll try to make Wordle a little easier for you. First, we'll offer a hint that describes the meaning of the word or how it might be used in a phrase or sentence. We'll also tell you if there are any double (or even triple) letters in the word. In case you still haven't quite figured it out by that point, we'll then provide the first letter of the word. Those who are still stumped after that can continue on to find out the answer for today's Wordle. This should go without saying, but make sure to scroll slowly. Spoilers are ahead. Here is a hint for today's Wordle answer: A type of chewy candy that has a saltwater variety. There is a pair of repeated letters in today's Wordle answer. The first letter of today's Wordle answer is T. This is your final warning before we reveal today's Wordle answer. No take-backs. Don't blame us if you happen to scroll too far and accidentally spoil the game for yourself. What is today's Wordle? Today's Wordle answer is... TAFFY Not to worry if you didn't figure out today's Wordle word. If you made it this far down the page, hopefully you at least kept your streak going. And, hey: there's always another game tomorrow.

Today's Wordle Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here. I started off rather badly with BREAD. 305 words remained and one lonely 'A' wasn't doing much for me. I have no idea where AMITY came from for my second guess, but at least it slashed that number down to just 7. TANGY wasn't a great choice for guess #3, leaving me with four words. Thankfully, the first word I came up with — TABBY — was no good because I'd already used the 'B' but this led me to TAFFY and I just went for it. Lucky for me, it was the Wordle! Today's Wordle Bot I can't believe the Bot got this one on its third guess with just one yellow 'A' and one green 'T'. Lucky lucky Bot. This means I lose 1 point for losing to the Bot and it gets 1 for guessing in three and 1 for beating me. Our June totals widen once again: Erik: 3 points Wordle Bot: 9 points The word taffy (the chewy candy) comes from British dialectal taffy or taffie, recorded in the early 19th century, meaning "candy made by boiling sugar." The exact origin is uncertain, but it may be imitative of the stretching and pulling sound or action used in making the candy. It is unrelated to Taffy as a slang term for a Welsh person, which comes from the Welsh name Dafydd (David). Let me know how you fared with your Wordle today on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook.
