THE Wordle Answer for Today, June 28, 2024 This is exactly what you need to understand before starting a well-deserved weekend.
For the uninitiated, the goal of Wordle is to find a five-letter word every day with six guesses. The fewer guesses, the better—and if you fail at all, you’ll end your streak.
This is why training Today’s Wordle Answer is such a priority because players pride themselves on 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.
Once you have today’s word, learn more about Wordle and how the New York Times got interested in games in this interview with Jonathan Knight, NYTimes gaming editor. In keeping with the word theme, we also explained why the NYTimes Mini Crossword is a reliable joy.
Clues for today’s Wordle answer
Instead of jumping straight to the answer, you may just need a few clues to help you cross the line:
- There are no repeating letters in this word.
- Today’s word has two vowels.
- The word starts with “D”.
- This is the verb form of the adjective that names a classic PlayStation game about an undercover police officer.

Wordle answer for word 1105 from June 28, 2024
Even with the above clues, are you still not sure and want to continue on this path?
The Wordle answer today is DROVE.
I was very hungry when I started playing, so my first guess was “BREAD,” a great way to start the day. I only got an “R,” so my next guess was “DREAD.” Now I had “DR,” and I knew the word also had an “E.” After a few frustrating attempts, I arrived at “DROVE.”
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 needs to know that you came to this page to know that. Maybe you can start by making a couple of false assumptions to put them on the wrong track, perhaps?
The etymology of today’s Wordle
The word “DRIVE” comes from Old English where the term “DRIFAN” was used with the meaning of forcing something to move. This idea was not necessarily related to transportation, since there are records indicating the hunting of animals.
We are used to expressions such as “DRIVE MAD”, which imply an idea of constraint towards a state. There are records that the word “DRIVE” appeared with this meaning around the 12th century.

What to play after Wordle
Once you’ve completed your daily Wordle, the question is: what will you play next?
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 standard Wordle, while increasing the number of words you have to find. The challenge lies in how your guesses count towards all the words, so you have to decide whether you’re going to focus on a specific word or try to solve multiple words at once. Thankfully, the number of guesses you’re given increases alongside 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!
