Stuck on today's Wordle? Here are some tips and clues to guide one to the answer!
Wordle was created by Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner, but the world soon fell in love with it. It is now hosted by the New York Times.
Wordle has inspired millions of fans, even leading to the creation of several spinoffs, such as the multi-word challenge Quordle and the music guessing game Heardle.
Wondering how to make the most out of every Wordle attempt? Start with a common vowel and consonant word, such as "TRAIN" or "SLATE." Remember, using letters containing high-frequency vowels or consonants gives an added advantage to narrowing down that solution.
Clue #1: The word has no double letters.
Clue #2: There is only one vowel and one "sometimes" vowel in the word.
Clue #3: It begins with B.
Clue #4: It's an adjectival usage.
Clue #5: The word is described as humorously risqué or indecent.
Today’s NYT Wordle answer is: BAWDY
Bawdy means amusingly indecent. It is frequently used to describe risqué, lewd, or mildly obscene jokes, stories, or remarks that are in a playful-provocative manner. Bawdy is often used in the context of language or content intended to be humorous, dealing with sexual matters.
Example: The comedian's bawdy humour had the audience laughing all night.
Start Strong: Choose a word with frequently repeating vowels and consonants to increase your chances of getting a correct letter early.
Seek Reps: While today's answer does not have any repeated letters, don't rule out guesses that do-thousands of previous answers have repeated letters.
