Fans of word games curious about a more challenging take on the concept should consider trying Wordle. Since solving a Wordle puzzle needs players to figure out a five-letter word within six tries, even common words like the one used today, April 14, 2023, can become confusing for players who don’t know where to begin.
However, just because a puzzle is tricky doesn’t mean it’s impossible to solve. Thankfully, clues such as the term’s definition and technical clues, as well as ideal starting words and familiar terms, may be able to help players have an easier time solving the puzzle.
What It Means
The meaning of a word in a word puzzle like Wordle can provide a lot of insight for players hoping to solve challenges like the one for today. After all, they can help players see if any of their guesses resemble the meaning given to them.
The word describes someone who is stealing something. The term comes from an Old English term that means the same thing, although with a longer spelling. The recent and more popular term has been in use since the late 17th Century.
Technical Clues
Another way players can complement the definition of a Wordle challenge is through its technical components. These clues provide players with efficient insights as to how the word should be used in the English language. Here are technical clues players should consider for today’s puzzle:
- The word has one syllable
- The word is primarily a noun when describing the person doing the act of stealing
