Today, I'll give you the answer. This was the riddle: FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder This is a very clever little riddle. The name is hidden in plain sight, beginning in July, moving on through August and then September, October and November. If you take the first letter of each of those months you spell out J-A-S-O-N, or Jason. Voila! Alright, now that's out of the way let's solve this Wordle! 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.

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: SNARE — 31 words remaining The Hint: Shake the very ground. The Clue: This Wordle has more vowels than consonants. 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. SNARE was a pretty good opening guess, leaving me with just 31 words and two green boxes. I had almost gone with FLAKE for my opener, and went with FLICK for my second guess, since I assumed we probably didn't need more vowels (I was wrong) and wanted to try all new letters. This slashed my remaining choices down to just two: AWAKE or QUAKE were all I could think of, and I never guess a double letter if I can help it. I went with QUAKE and that was the Wordle. Huzzah! Today's Wordle Bot The Bot and I each get 1 point for guessing in three and 0 for tying. Our July totals inch up to: Erik: 8 points Wordle Bot: 12 points The word "quake" comes from Old English cwacian, meaning to tremble or shake. It is of Germanic origin, related to Middle Dutch quacken and Middle Low German quaken, all meaning to shake or tremble. The word originally referred to trembling from fear or cold, and later came to describe earth tremors (as in earthquake).
