answer, clue, Sunday, Todays, Wordle

In addition to relaxing on Sunday, you may want to challenge yourself by playing a quick game. To make things a little easier for you, here is the Wordle response for today, May 12, 2024.

For the uninitiated, the goal of Wordle is to find a five-letter word in six guesses every day. The fewer guesses, the better – and if you don’t get it right at all, you’ll end your streak.

This is why training today’s Wordle answer is such a priority because players take pride in continuing their streak. So why gamble on a risky final guess when you can learn a few clues and, failing that, get the definitive answer? This page can help you.

Once you’ve got the hang of today’s word, learn more about Wordle and how the New York Times got interested in games in this interview with NYTimes gaming editor Jonathan Knight. In keeping with the theme of words, we also explained why the NYTimes Mini Crosswords are a reliable joy.

Clues for today’s Wordle answer

Instead of jumping straight to the answer, you may only need a few clues to cross the line:

  • The word contains three vowels.
  • There are no repetitive letters.
  • This word starts with “O”.
  • Today’s word appears in the title of the hit made by game development studio Mobius Digital and which was selected as Eurogamer’s best game of 2019.

Still not sure? Read on for the answer.

Wordle answer for word 1058 from May 12, 2024

Even with the clues above, are you still not sure and want to continue with this?

The Wordle answer today is OUTSIDE.

My first choice was to start with “BAKER” which luckily gave me the last two letters of the word. In an attempt to find the first letter, I then tried “DINER” and “AMBER”. No success with these though. On my fourth try, I tried “OTTER” and now had four of the five letters! All I had to do next was change a letter and type “OUTER”.

Of course, no one should know that you came to this page to solve the problem. Maybe start by making a couple of false assumptions to confuse them, perhaps?

The etymology of today’s Wordle

Based on the use of the word in the late 14th century, “OUTSIDE” indicated that which is outside or in the distance. One of the origins of the words is the term “OFFER” in Middle English. At the end of the 19th century, this word was used in the expression “OUTER SPACE” to refer to what lies beyond our planet’s atmosphere.

Another use of the word is to indicate one who exhibits something. The idea of ​​“expulsion” is also linked to “OUTSIDE”.

What to play after Wordle

Once your daily Wordle is over, the question is: what are you going to play now?

You can of course try the other word games offered by the New York Times, such as Spelling Bee, Mini Crossword and Letter Boxed. You can also try your luck at Connections, the daily Sudokus and Tiles – a rather additive pattern matching game.

NOW games

There are also a range of games that have tweaked the Wordle formula. Squaredle challenges you to find a series of words by connecting letters in a four-by-four grid. Meanwhile, Dordle, Quorodly, Octordly and Sedecordle all stick to the standard Wordle, while increasing the number of words you need to find. The challenge lies in how your guesses count for all words. So you need to decide whether you are going to focus on a specific word or try to solve multiple words at the same time. Fortunately, the number of guesses given to you increases as the number of words you have to solve.

If you want to take a break from spelling, try GeoGuessr. Here you will be given an image of somewhere, anywhere, in the world and asked to place a marker on where you think that location is. There is even an Old School RuneScape version.

Hope you enjoyed playing Wordle today!
