A Tricky Tuesday Wordle
On Tuesday, Wordle players encountered a particularly tricky combination of letters. This much-appreciated word quiz introduced by Josh Wardle constantly tests skills, presenting a challenge that is never too easy to bore players, yet not so difficult that it dissuades them from participating.
Josh, despite being the creator of this addictive game, has amusingly confessed not being particularly skilled at it himself. Created to amuse his partner during the coronavirus-imposed lockdowns, Wardle expresses surprise at her expertise. Often, she unravels the puzzle within three attempts, putting his own best attempts to shame.
Behind-the-Scene: Wordle
The concept of Wordle is certainly fascinating. It proffers hidden five-letter words that players must guess. They get a total of six attempts per puzzle. Every letter that forms part of the players’ guess is assigned a color to indicate its relevance.
Grey tiles mean that the guessed letter is not part of the word, hence, it can be discarded. If the tile is yellow it indicates that the letter is indeed part of the hidden word but it is not correctly placed. The eagerly sought-after green tile confirms the correctness of the letter and also its placement in the word.
The thrill of the game lies in the fact there is only one Wordle each day, and it resets at midnight. Thus, players can look forward to a fresh puzzle every morning.
Clues for Tuesday’s Wordle
For the Wordle on Tuesday, October 29, five hints were offered. The first clue was that the to-be-guessed word comprised of two vowels. The next hint affirmed that the word did not contain any repeating letters. The third hint was relatively easy- the word referred to something that could be worn. The fourth and fifth hints disclosed that the word started with the letter ‘T’ and ended with a consonant.
The Tunic Puzzle
These hints led to the final answer: ‘TUNIC.’ The Cambridge Dictionary defines a ‘tunic’ as an item of clothing that fits loosely over a person’s body, hangs till the waist or knees and often comes sans sleeves. It presented a reasonable challenge to the players, testing their language and logic skills.
So, did you manage to unravel this puzzle or were you left scratching your head? Whether you solved Tuesday’s tunic puzzle or not, the beauty of Wordle lies in providing a new challenge every day, keeping players engaged and always looking forward to a fresh start the next morning.
