Wordle answer for word 1135 on July 28, 2024
Even with the above clues, are you still not sure and want to keep going?
The Wordle answer today is BLOUSE.
I finally won quickly and cleanly. I started playing with the word “BREAK” and followed with “STUCK.” Since I had discovered that the word started with “S” and ended with “OCK,” I only had a few options to try. After trying “SHOCK,” my next logical step was to use the word “SMOCK,” which thankfully was the correct answer.
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 word “SMOK” comes from Middle English and refers to women’s underwear, a meaning that has been inherited by the modern word “SMOCK”. The term comes from an Old English word, “SMOC”, which refers to clothing worn by women. The term became synonymous with femininity, becoming a verb to characterize the condition of womanhood around the 1600s.
Nowadays, we also find the word designating the clothing used by artists, a meaning which appeared in 1938.

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!
