For now, let’s do this Wordle! How To Solve Today’s Wordle The Hint: Bird. The Clue: Today’s Wordle has far more consonants than vowels. Okay, spoilers below! . . . The Answer: Today's Wordle Wordle Analysis Every day I check Wordle Bot to see how I did. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here . For the third day in a row, today’s Wordle has just one vowel and for the third day in a row, that vowel is ‘I’. Coincidence? I think not! Of course, today’s has moved the ‘I’ from box 3 to box 2. What a shocking twist! I didn’t think this trend would continue, so I guessed crate and came back with just one yellow ‘C’. I learned later that this wasn’t so bad. I had just 64 remaining words to choose from. Disco (see above video haha) slashed that number to 5. Unfortunately, all the words I could think of ended in the same four letters. I tried pinch first, but a little voice in my head was chirping “Finch! Finch!” so I guessed that next and finally got the Wordle.

Today’s Wordle Etymology The word "finch" originates from the Old English "finc," a term closely related to words in other Germanic languages, such as the Old High German "finko" and the Dutch "vink." This term is used to describe small passerine birds, especially those belonging to the family Fringillidae. The origin of these Germanic words is not entirely clear, but it's believed they may be onomatopoeic, imitating the distinct call of these birds. The term has been in use since before the 12th century, maintaining a relatively consistent form and meaning across centuries, primarily referring to small, seed-eating birds with a conical bill, common in Europe and many parts of the world.
