If you’re not ready for a long battle with Wordle this Saturday, we can help you with the Wordle response for today, June 29, 2024.
For the uninitiated, the goal of Wordle is to find a daily five-letter word in six attempts. The less guessing you do, the better, and if you fail to guess, you end your streak.
It is for this last reason that physical exercise Today’s Wordle Answer is a top priority, as players take pride in 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 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 get you over the line:
- There are no repeated letters in this word.
- This word has two vowels.
- The word begins with “Z”.
- This is the name of one of the animals you can have in Zoo Tycoon.

Wordle answer for word 1106 from June 29, 2024
Even with the clues above, are you still not sure and want to continue with this?
The Wordle answer today is ZEBRA.
In order to find my first letters, I tried ‘NEEDY’ followed by ‘BEACH’. In trying to determine the exact position of all the letters I had discovered, I wasted two attempts with words that didn’t help me at all. On my fifth try, I decided to try ‘REBUT’, which was obviously the wrong answer but showed me that the word had an ‘R’. That was all I needed to find ‘ZEBRA’.
Now you have the answer, don’t spoil it for others! Remember that you can share your results without spoilers 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 throw them off, perhaps?
The etymology of today’s Wordle
“ZEBRA” is a rather unique word. As the online etymology dictionary explains, the word could come from the Latin term “EQUIFERUS” to designate a wild horse. In 16th century Italian, we find the word “ZEBRA” which could come from Portuguese.

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 Connections, Daily Sudokus and Tiles, a rather additive 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 stay true to the standard Wordle, while increasing the number of words to find. The challenge lies in how your guesses count for all words, so you need to decide whether you’re 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 depending on the number of words you need to solve.
If you want to take a break from spelling, try GeoGuessr. Here you will be given a picture of a location, anywhere, in the world, and you will need to place a marker where you think that location is. There is even an Old School version of RuneScape.
Hope you enjoyed playing Wordle today!
