To celebrate the last day of work this week and start your weekend off right, take a few minutes to understand Wordle Answer for Today, July 19, 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.

Wordle answer for word 1126 on July 19, 2024
Even with the above clues, are you still not sure and want to keep going?
The Wordle answer today is REFER.
For today’s Wordle puzzle, my first answer was “ARISE.” This is always a good option to start playing this game, although this time I didn’t find the exact location of the letters. Since I had just discovered that the word had “R” and “E,” I tried “RISEN” right after, which indicated where the two letters were positioned in the word. Finding the final answer wasn’t easy, requiring me to use all my guesses, but I finally found “REFER.”
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 history of the term “REFER” goes back to Latin, where we find the word “REFERRE” which means “to bring something back”. This term is borrowed and transformed by Old French into “REFERREN”, a word which, in the 14th century, indicated the origin of something or assigned it.
Another common meaning of this word today is to indicate the source of information, as when we refer to books, a meaning that did not appear until 1600.

What to play after Wordle
Once you’ve completed your daily Wordle, the question is: what will you play next?

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!
