Wordle today: Here's the answer hints for August 4
Puzzle #1142 delighted fans of the well-known word guessing game “Wordle.” The puzzle was published on August 4, and although this daily installment may have baffled some, as usual, the solution is only a few reasonable guesses away. Although you might be late to crack it, that is no problem – a new puzzle will be available tomorrow, ready to challenge your vocabulary and descriptive thinking skills. Today, the word was “LOWER.”
“Wordle” is a game that millions have come to rely on as a part of their daily routines. In case you might be unfamiliar, the game revolves around the attempt to guess a five-letter word in no more than six tries. With each guess, players receive feedback on the letters they managed to guess correctly – a grey block indicates an incorrect letter or one that does not belong in the word, a yellow block demonstrates a letter that is in the word but in the wrong place, and a green block confirms the discovery of the right letter in the right place. This feedback often goes a long way in pointing players towards the right solution.
In terms of strategies, when trying to crack the “Wordle,” it is usually a good idea to start with opening words that are rich in vowels and which use common consonants. This will help the player establish contact with more basic letters at the outset, and starting to determine placement for the right letters early in the solving process can often make all the difference. When thinking about the potential solutions for “LOWER,” the word may have indeed been confusing. However, throughout the history of different “Wordle” puzzles, letters tend to repeat and common suffixes are not an uncommon occurrence. Although the game often presents players with a challenge, it also allows them to learn something new.d
