Hello, everyone! It’s Monday, November 11, 2024. Grab your morning coffee and join me as we dive into today’s Wordle challenge. Today’s strategy is inspired by ET: The Extraterrestrial, so we’re starting with the word extra—let’s see if we can “phone home” with the answer!
Today Wordle Hints
- Number of Vowels: The word contains two vowels.
- First Letter: The word begins with the letter ‘S.’
- Repeated Letters: There are no repeated letters in today’s wordle.
Example Hint:
- Think of words related to being calm, strong, or unreactive in tough situations.
- It describes someone who doesn’t easily show emotion, even in stressful moments.
The Starting Word: Extra
As we begin with extra, I couldn’t resist the reference to ET and the idea of making “contact” with the solution. Starting with "extra," we uncover a T, but it’s out of position. Not bad for a first guess! A little ET magic, perhaps?
Second Guess: Touch
With the T in play, it’s time to try out more classic vowels. My next guess is touch, hoping to move the T and add new letters. Let’s see if this leads us closer. Guess what? We’ve hit the jackpot—adding O and C to our letters, though they’re all out of position.
With T, O, and C at our disposal, I start to think about words with O in the middle, flanked by consonants. We’ve seen this structure pay off in previous Wordle games. I quickly test possibilities in my mind: could C be up front? How about clout or cloth? Unfortunately, these don’t fit since I’ve already tested H and U.
Third Guess: Stoic
Suddenly, it hits me—stoic! I have a good feeling about this. It checks all the boxes, with O safely positioned in the middle and S, T, and C filling in perfectly around it. Could this be it?
Drumroll, please… Yes! The answer is stoic. Got it in three!

Today’s puzzle reminded me of a useful approach: when you spot a lone O out of position, consider placing it in the middle with consonants on both sides. This simple pattern often reveals the answer in a way that keeps your guesses focused.
Tomorrow, I’m planning a fun twist: a “numbers-oriented” Wordle, starting with the word three.
