Today’s Wordle answer August 3
It’s time to reveal the answer to today’s Wordle. The word is…
YOUTH.
Youth refers to the time when one is young, and it is a driving force behind villains in a range of mythical stories. Of course, there are plenty of creams and ointments that can allegedly remove wrinkles and restore youth, but villains never think to nip down to the local cosmetics store.
Now that you know today’s Wordle answer, make sure to keep it a secret until midnight. When the clock strikes 12, a new Wordle will appear and you can freely shout about the fountain of youth without a care in the world. Just try not to get too obsessed, lest you also morph into a youth-seeking villain.
How to play Wordle
Wordle is a very straightforward word guessing game. The aim is to guess the correct five-letter word in just six guesses. With each guess, the individual letters of your chosen word will highlight green if they’re in the correct place, or yellow if they’re in the wrong place. If a letter doesn’t appear in the solution word at all, it’ll remain unhighlighted.
How did Wordle begin?
Are any Wordle words not allowed?
You can type in pretty much any five-letter word in the English language and Wordle will accept it as a guess. However, the answer is picked each day from a much smaller list of more common five-letter words. There are still thousands of possible answers, of course, but it means the answer will never be a word as obscure as, say, “THIOL”, or “CAIRD”, or “MALIC” (yes, those are all real words).
There are very occasional words which the New York Times will choose not to publish as the day’s Wordle answer, perhaps for reasons relating to recent news or politics. For example, shortly after news broke that Roe v Wade might be overturned in the United States, the NYT decided to change the March 30th word from “FETUS” to “SHINE, as the feeling was that the word “fetus” was too politically charged a word in the context of recent events.
The New York Times has also been careful never to allow what they consider to be rude words as the answer to a Wordle puzzle. But of course there’s nothing stopping you from using even the dirtiest of words as guesses, as long as they’re accepted words in the dictionary, and as long as you realise that they’ll never end up being the answer.
