After each guess, the game gives feedback to help you get closer to the answer:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Green<\/strong>: The letter is in the word and in the correct spot.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Yellow<\/strong>: The letter is in the word, but in the wrong spot.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gray<\/strong>: The letter is not in the word at all.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Use these clues to narrow down your guesses. Every day brings a new word, and everyone around the world is trying to solve the same puzzle. Some Wordlers also play Competitive Wordle against friends, family, the Wordle Bot or even against me, your humble narrator.

It is one of Wordle Bot\u2019s favorites, right after SLATE. With 17 words left and two green boxes, I tried out a word that I hoped would at the very least get rid of most of the most common letters remaining. BOING left me with two: DRUNK and TRUNK and I just picked one and got lucky. DRUNK for the win!

It\u2019s part of a strong verb pattern (like <em>sing \u2192 sung<\/em>), where vowel changes mark tense.<\/p>\n<p>It traces back to Proto-Germanic <em>drunkanaz<\/em>, from the root <em>drinkan\u0105<\/em> (\u201cto drink\u201d). Originally, <em>druncen<\/em> simply meant \u201chaving drunk,\u201d but by Middle English it narrowed to mean intoxicated from alcohol.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"embed-base rule-embed color-accent border-solid weight-light\"\/>\n<p>Be sure to follow me for all your daily puzzle-solving guides, TV show and movie reviews and more here on this blog!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/erikkain\/2026\/04\/23\/wordle-answer-friday-april-24\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to solve today&#8217;s Wordle.
