⚠️ Spoiler Warning!
If you haven’t played today’s Wordle yet, pause here. Otherwise, let’s solve it together.
Let’s Solve the Puzzle
First Guess: CRASH
Let’s see if this symbolic word gives us a breakthrough — or a breakdown.
CRASH
⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜
Okay! A little nudge from the Wordle gods. The A is in there, just not in the center. That’s something. Maybe today’s the day we play the vowel game early.
Let’s go fishing for some vowels and test some fresh consonants while we’re at it.
Second Guess: FLOAT
Why FLOAT?
-
Adds O into the mix
-
Keeps the A
-
Tests L, F, and T — all useful letters
Let’s toss it into the Wordle waters and see what comes back.
FLOAT
⬜⬜⬜🟨🟨
Alright, plot twist! No O, no F, no L — but hello T. It’s here, just like A, and it’s hiding in the wrong spot too.
Now we’re narrowing things down. Still have E, U, and I on the vowel bench. A feels like it wants to move forward. T... maybe center?
Hmm...
Third Guess: TAKEN
Now hear me out:
-
Drops in E
-
Moves A forward
-
Brings in that strong N
-
T slides into the front — a test worth making
Here we go...
TAKEN
🟨🟩⬜⬜⬜
Well then — unexpected. A finally finds its seat! That second slot is locked. T is still wandering aimlessly. E? Now off the list. No N either.
We’re making progress, folks. Slowly. Confusingly. But progress.
Let’s talk possibilities...
-
A is second
-
T is still loose
-
No E, K, or N
-
Still got I and U in play
My brain’s trying to fit these pieces like a jigsaw puzzle in the dark...
Fourth Guess: DATUM
Yup. I said it. DATUM.
-
A goes second
-
T tries the middle
-
U comes off the bench
-
M brings some spice
I don’t know why, but it’s stuck in my head now. It’s obscure. It’s weird. It feels like the kind of word that throws everyone off.
Ready? Deep breath.
DATUM
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
YESSS! IT’S DATUM!
Holy smokes. That was one of those “weirdly genius” moments. This word’s absolutely going to trip people up. It's one of those formal, almost academic words that lives in textbooks — not coffee chats.
Definition Break!
Dat·um — a singular form of “data.” A single piece of information or a fixed reference point.
Yeah, it makes sense in hindsight. Still… if you’ve never seen it in the wild, totally understandable if it looked like a typo.
Tomorrow’s Starter Word: XEROX
Because why not go into Friday with a fearless word that starts with an X? You know it’s going to be chaos.
Until then, keep the streak strong, stay curious, and remember — every puzzle is just a new story waiting to be solved.
Happy solving, Wordlers!
