Wordle Answer Today: Today’s Wordle (July 1) turned out to be a real head-scratcher for players trying to protect their precious streaks. The daily five-letter challenge delivered a musty little mystery that had fans sniffing around for clues. While some guessed it early, others were left second-guessing every letter.
So, what made Wordle #1473 particularly tricky? Let’s break it down.
Each day, Wordle serves up a fresh five-letter word for its players to decipher within six guesses. Letters guessed correctly in the right position turn green. Those in the word but in the wrong place show up yellow, and incorrect ones appear grey.
On July 1, the hints dropped were subtle but sinister. The theme? Think damp. Think decay. Think fungi.
Clues That Spoiled the Surprise (Almost)
To help Wordlers inch closer to the solution, a string of helpful clues was shared:
- The word begins with M.
- It ends with Y.
- There’s only one vowel in the mix.
- All five letters are unique — no repetitions.
- The thematic hint? “Think of ‘fungal growth’.”
For those who typed in “odyle” as a starting word, four letters lit up yellow — close, but not quite the right arrangement.
