I'll post the answer tomorrow. Now, dearest Wordlers, we have Wordle to solve! 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. 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: STALE (329 words remaining) The Hint: Yogurt drink. The Clue: This Wordle has more consonants than vowels. 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. STALE was a bad opener today. Very unlucky. Just one yellow 'E' and 329 remaining solutions. MOUND wasn't a very good follow-up, leaving me with a whopping 51. Thankfully, GRIEF slashed that to just two: FIERY and KEFIR. I felt like FIERY had already been a Wordle (though I'm not sure this is true) so I went with KEFIR. Lucky for me, that was the Wordle!Erik: 2 points Wordle Bot: 7 points The word kefir comes from Russian кефир (kefír), borrowed from Turkish kefir, which likely derives from the North Caucasian (possibly Ossetian) word kef meaning 'foam' or 'bubbles,' referring to the drink's effervescence. It entered English in the late 19th century via Russian descriptions of the fermented milk beverage.

Today's ‘Wordle' #1412 Hints, Clues And Answer For Thursday, May 1st
How to solve today's Wordle. Looking for Wednesday's Wordle hints, clues and answer? You can find them here: Not only is it Thor's Day, it's also May Day. April is dead. May has risen from its ashes. Also, yesterday was Wordle Wednesday and I gave all you fine Wordlers an extra brain-teaser to solve. Not that many of you sent me the answer, so kudos to those of you got this. Here's the puzzle: There are three boxes. One box contains gems. At least one box has a true statement and at least one box has a false statement. The three boxes are black, white and blue. The black box has a note on it that reads "the white box contains gems". The white box has a note on it that reads "only one box contains gems". And the blue box has a note on it that reads "only one box is true". In which box are the gems? The answer: The White Box. I got this puzzle from the new video game Blue Prince which is one of my favorite games of the year. It's such a delightful and challenging puzzle game. You play as the heir to a large estate who is tasked with finding the mysterious 46th room. Each day, you go into the manor and 'draft' new rooms, each with its own doors, treasures and lore, and try to map out an ever-shifting manor-house, all while finding special items and solving puzzles. Each day, you start over with a fresh slate, though there are some permanent unlocks you can find as well. It's genuinely wonderful and captivating, perhaps the best puzzle game I've played since Myst. 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 In any case, let's solve this Wordle! The Hint: Someone with a special set of skills. The Clue: This Wordle starts with a vowel. 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. CLOUT was a reasonably decent opening guess, leaving me with just 101 words and one green 'T'. I opted for all new letters with SPARE and got three yellow boxes for my troubles. At this point I could only think of one word, though it turns out EXPAT would have also worked. Thankfully, I only thought of ADEPT and that was the Wordle! Today's Wordle Bot I get 1 point for guessing in three and 0 for tying the Bot. Same score for the Bot. We begin our May contest with a tie (which is funny, because we ended April in a tie!) Erik: 1 point Wordle Bot: 1 point The word "adept" comes from Latin adeptus, the past participle of adipisci, meaning "to attain" or "to achieve." It originally referred to someone who had attained knowledge or mastery, especially in alchemy or esoteric arts, before broadening in meaning.

That means I have a logic puzzle for you to solve. Every Wednesday I dole out a new riddle, logic puzzle or brain-teaser to keep things fresh around here. Then I give the answer out on Thursday. Here's today's: There are three boxes. One box contains gems. At least one box has a true statement and at least one box has a false statement. The three boxes are black, white and blue. The black box has a note on it that reads "the white box contains gems". The white box has a note on it that reads "only one box contains gems".

Now let's solve this Wordle! 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 Hint: A lazy person. Or a car part. The Clue: This Wordle begins with a vowel. 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 had quite a lucky guessing game today. While FLOAT left me with 160 possible solutions, LINER slashed that down to just one: IDLER for the win! Huzzah! Today's Wordle Bot I get 1 point for guessing in three and 1 point for beating the Bot. The Bot loses 1 point for guessing in five and loses a second point since I beat it today. That brings us to a miraculous April tie! Erik: 15 points Wordle Bot: 15 points If only this had been 2XP Friday, I'd have won by a healthy margin. Still, I'm a little shocked I managed to catch up after being down most of the month. Double huzzah! The word "idler" comes from the noun "idle" (meaning "inactive" or "lazy") plus the agentive suffix "-er" (meaning "one who"). "Idle" traces back to Old English idel, meaning "empty, useless, vain," and possibly from Proto-Germanic idla- ("empty, vain"). So, "idler" simply means "one who is idle."
