In the latest Wordle challenge, puzzle-solvers were given the riddle: “What occurs once in a minute, twice in a moment and never in a thousand years?” The answer to this tricky riddle was revealed to be the letter ‘M’, which many participants correctly guessed. The daily Wordle hint for Tuesday was “Pizza!” and the clue given was that the word ends with a vowel. Using these hints, players were able to successfully guess the word of the day.
One player shared their strategy for solving the Wordle, mentioning that they stumbled upon the correct answer of “slice” after trying various starting words. With three green boxes indicating correct guesses, the player narrowed it down to either “slice” or “since,” ultimately choosing the former as the correct answer. They were able to guess in two attempts, earning a total of 3 points. The Wordle Bot, on the other hand, guessed in three attempts, giving the player an additional point for beating the bot.
Players can keep track of their scores in the competitive Wordle game by assigning points based on the number of guesses it takes to solve the puzzle. Guessing in 1 attempt earns 3 points, while guessing in 2 or 3 attempts earns 2 and 1 point respectively. Guessing in 4 attempts yields no points, while guessing in 5 or 6 attempts results in negative points. Additionally, players can earn or lose points based on whether they beat, tie, or lose to their opponent. Keeping a daily running score or playing for a new score each day adds an element of challenge to the game.
The etymology of the word “slice” was also explored, tracing its origins back to the Old English word “slīcian,” which means to cut or cleave. This term is derived from the Proto-Germanic root “*slīk-” and is related to similar words in Old High German and German. The modern use of the word “slice” retains the concept of using a sharp instrument to cut something into pieces, which has a wide range of applications in various contexts.
