Looking for Friday's Wordle hints, clues and answer? You can find them here:
We're basically rushing toward the end of July already. This time of year, as we dip into the back half, I'm always a little stunned. So much has happened in 2025 already, but it still feels like we shouldn't be this close to Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, 2026. Let's not think about all that, though. It's summertime. Stop and smell the roses. And then solve a Wordle with me.
How To Solve Today's Wordle
The Hint: Medieval armament.
The Clue: This Wordle has far more consonants than vowels.
Okay, spoilers below! The answer is coming!

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.
BALMY—which I snagged from today's Strands puzzle—was a terrible opening guess today. 896 words remained and all grey boxes. SPIRE slashed that number way, way down to just 7. SNORT left me with only one: SWORD for the win! If you added LE to the end of that word, you'd get SWORDLE which could be a fun word game about Medieval stuff or weapons or something. I just like swords a lot. I own six or seven.

The Bot and I each get zero points today for tying and guessing in four, so our July scores remain:
Erik: 5 points
Wordle Bot: 9 points
The word "sword" comes from Old English sweord, related to Old High German swert and Old Norse sverð. All derive from Proto-Germanic swerdam, though the exact origin is uncertain. It may be linked to the root swer- meaning 'to cut' or 'to hurt.'
