Share to Facebook Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Here’s today’s Wordle answer plus a helpful hint. Getty Images It’s Saturday and I’m still at Comic-Con which has been a blast so far. Some of the highlights at this point have been the phenomenal Severance panel and immersive activation that allows you go into what feels very much like the Lumon office building; the terrific Dragon Prince panel which revealed the entire first episode of Season 4; and the stunning new trailer for The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power.

I was also really impressed by the trailer for the new Dungeons & Dragons movie , which I just assumed would be terrible. It looks good! There are still many more panels to enjoy today including HBO’s Game Of Thrones spinoff House Of The Dragon as well as both DC and Marvel panels. But for now, let’s take a look at today’s Wordle! Today’s Wordle Hint & Answer Spoilers ahead, people.

You’ve been warned. The hint: Not exactly what Emily says she heard buzz before she died, but not a bloodsucker either. Still, best to avoid their swarms.

And the answer is . . .

I don’t think I’ve heard this word in a long time.

I guessed power first because I’d just been thinking about Amazon’s The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power thanks to that incredible trailer . Unfortunately, Wordle Bot informs me that I still had a whopping 319 possible solutions left. Yikes! Death seemed like a natural second guess since it let me test the ‘E’ in a new spot and try out a few other common letters, eliminating ‘A’ in the process.

Now I was down to just 17 possible solutions. I wanted to test out ‘U’ and ‘I’ so I went with fluid and sure enough, the ‘I’ was there in yet another yellow box (all yellow so far!) and the ‘U’ was eliminated. Apparently I had now narrowed my choices to just two possible solutions, but I honestly couldn’t think of anything at all.

I chose sidle even though I knew the ‘L’ was out of play simply to try to get some letters in green boxes, which I managed to do at least. The other possible solution here was snide but guessing that would actually have left me with fewer green boxes and may have made my next guess tougher though Wordle Bot took points off House Gryffindor for my failure to guess at least one of the remaining words. Honestly, I think it’s a little weird that sidle isn’t a Wordle word.

It’s not some bizarre or antiquated word, after all. Sidling is a form of movement we’re all familiar with! Anyways, I had to go through the letters for a while, testing out nonsense words like bidge until I came to midge for the win. But I got there eventually! Have a great weekend, Wordlers!
