As we reach the last day of the weekend, you might not feel like facing a word puzzle would be too taxing. But don’t worry, we can help you with the Wordle response for today, June 16, 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.

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.

Wordle answer for word 1093 from June 16, 2024

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

The Wordle answer today is GRIND.

Since it’s Sunday, I’m allowed to start slowly, so I used one of my favorite words to start a Wordle game, “CRACK.” Knowing the “R” in the second place, I decided to continue with “PRIOR”. Great, I now had two letters and a good number of essays left. My third guess was “DRIFT”, but this time I got nothing from it. The fourth word I tried was “BRINK” and now I finally had enough letters to make things a little easier. Finally, I arrived at “GRIND”. After all, as a fan of RPG games used to leveling up my party for hours on end, “GRIND” is part of my vocabulary.

Now you have the answer, don’t spoil it for others! Don’t forget that you can share your spoiler-free results in the form of a grid.

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

We can trace the etymology of the word “GRIND” to the Proto-Germanic term “GRINDANA” and the Old English “GRINDAN”. In the latter case, it means rubbing. Around the 13th century, the sensation of making an object smooth or sharp by friction appeared.

The word “GRIND” has always been linked, to some extent, to the idea of ​​performing repetitive activities. There are records of students using “GRIND” as slang to represent regular, tedious work.

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.

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!
