Today's ‘Wordle' #1426 Hints, Clues And Answer For Thursday, May 15th
How to solve today's Wordle. Looking for Wednesday's Wordle hints, clues and answer? You can find them here: Since it's Thor's Day and yesterday was Odin's Day, I owe all you dear Wordlers a solution to the Wordle Wednesday riddle I handed out yesterday. This was a bit of a lateral thinking puzzle: A husband and wife are driving down a road one night when the car runs out of gas. The man leaves his wife in the car and hurries to a gas station down the road. He leaves the doors locked. When he returns, the doors are still locked but his wife is dead and there's a stranger in the car. What happened? The answer: The woman was pregnant. When the man went for help, she died giving birth and the man returned to find her dead and their child—the stranger—in the car. Grim, I know. At least I didn't post it on Mother's Day! Let's solve this Wordle. The Hint: Excited. The Clue: This Wordle has a more vowels than consonants. Okay, spoilers below! . . . 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 out quite terribly today with FLITE, leaving me with a whopping 412 remaining solutions and one lonely yellow box. SHEAR cut that down to 26 and gave me another yellow and one green box. I figured I really needed to get the 'E' into green and picked EAGER, which had two possible locations for the vowel. I was actually a bit shocked when it ended up being the Wordle! Huzzah! Today's Wordle Bot I made up for my big losses today, at least in part, getting 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. This adjusts our May tally to: Erik: 15 points Wordle Bot: 7 points The word eager comes from Middle English eagre, meaning "keen" or "fierce," which was borrowed from Old French eigre. That, in turn, comes from Latin acer, meaning "sharp, keen, or spirited." So originally, eager conveyed intensity or sharpness of desire.

Today's ‘Wordle' #1397 Hints, Clues And Answer For Wednesday, April 16th
How to solve today's Wordle. Looking for Tuesday's Wordle hints, clues and answer? You can find them here: Odin's Day is always special here in this Wordle column. Instead of diving right into solving the Wordle, I always include a riddle, logic puzzle or brain-teaser. Lately, I've been doing a series of fantasy-themed puzzles. Knights racing to deliver a message. Thieves crossing a bridge while the king's guards are in hot pursuit. That sort of thing. And today, for Wordle Wednesday, we continue down this path. Here's the puzzle: A knight, ranger, wizard, and cleric enter an orc-infested valley for a 6-hour challenge to see who can slay the most orcs. Each hero has different strengths—and each faces their own setbacks during the fight. Use logic and math to determine who slays the most orcs and rank them from greatest to least. ⚔️ The Knight 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 🏹 The Ranger 🧙 The Wizard ✝️ The Cleric Note: Each character slays orcs-per-hour and this number is impacted by the complications that arise. The Ranger, for instance, slays 8 orcs per hour, but the 12 minutes per hour he takes to restring his bow lowers that number accordingly. Also: You cannot kill a percentage of an orc, so any totals must be rounded down. Wounding an orc does not count toward the total. Your Task: Determine how many orcs each character slays in total. Then, rank them from most to least. Okay, Wordle time! The Hint: Strong beliefs and values. The Clue: This Wordle has more consonants than vowels. Okay, spoilers below! . . . 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. Today's Wordle Bot I get 0 points for guessing in four and -1 for losing to the Bot. The Bot gets 1 point for guessing in three and 1 point for beating me. This brings our April total to: Erik: 5 points Wordle Bot: 12 points The word "moral" comes from the Latin moralis, meaning "pertaining to manners or morals," which itself derives from mos (plural mores), meaning "custom" or "habit." The term was popularized in this sense by Cicero to translate the Greek word ēthikos ("ethical"). It entered Middle English via Old French moral.
