Today’s Wordle Clue and Answer Monday July 22 for 1129

The week is just beginning, put your thinking cap on to get back on track as you work on the Wordle Answer for Today, July 22, 2024.

For the uninitiated, the goal of Wordle is to guess a daily five-letter word in six tries. The fewer guesses you make, the better, and if you fail to guess it, you end your streak.

It is for this last reason that physical exercise Today’s Wordle Answer is a top priority, as players pride themselves on maintaining their winning streak. So why risk 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, head of games for the NYTimes. In keeping with the word theme, we also talked about why the NYTimes Mini Crossword is a reliable joy.

Even with the above clues, are you still not sure and want to keep going?

The Wordle answer today is CADET.

Although today is Monday, I wanted to start the week in a calm frame of mind, so I chose “BEACH” as my first guess. I figured out the vowel from this word, but I still had to figure out their correct arrangement. For my second try, I chose “CARET,” which was the perfect word for today’s puzzle. Basically, I gave myself four of the five letters. From there, all I had to do was find the last letter to complete the challenge.

Now you have the answer, don’t reveal it to others! Remember that you can share your results without spoilers 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 throw them off track, perhaps?

The etymology of today’s Wordle

The use of the word “CADET” to refer to a student at a military college appears in 1775. However, before that, around the 1600s, the word referred to a younger brother or son, as well as someone who was part of the military forces.

The word may have come from the medieval Latin expression “CAPITELLUM”, which refers to the lower authority in a family.

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, like Spelling Bee, Mini Crossword, and Letter Boxed. You can also try Connections, Daily Sudoku, and Tiles, a rather addictive pattern-matching game.

There are also a range of games that have put their own spin on the Wordle formula. Squaredle challenges you to find a series of words by connecting letters in a four-by-four grid. Dordle, Quorodly, Octordly and Sedecordle, meanwhile, all stick to the standard Wordle, while increasing the number of words 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 offered increases depending on the number of words you have to solve.

If you want a break from spelling, try GeoGuessr. Here, you’ll be given a picture of a location, anywhere, in the world, and you’ll have to place a marker where you think that location is. There’s even an Old School RuneScape version.

Hope you enjoyed playing Wordle today!
