Today’s Wordle clue and answer, Friday March 29, for 1014

It is Friday! Relax after a long week to understand the Wordle response for today, March 29.

For the uninitiated, the goal of Wordle is to find a five-letter word in six guesses every day. The fewer guesses, the better – and if you don’t get it right at all, you’ll end your streak.

This is why training today’s Wordle answer is such a priority because players take pride in 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 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.

• Today’s word starts with “R”.

Wordle answer for word 1014 from March 29, 2024

Even with the clues above, are you still not sure and want to continue with this?

The Wordle answer today is KINGDOM.

Guess who got this note on their first attempt? That’s right! I’m not sure what happened today, but I’m not going to question it, I found today’s word “REALM” in one try!

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 should know that you came to this page to solve the problem. Maybe start by making a couple of false assumptions to confuse them, perhaps?

The etymology of today’s Wordle

The word “Reaume” dating back to the 1300s, meaning a kingdom under royal jurisdiction, is said to be one of the earliest examples of the origin of the current word “REALM”. It is also said to derive in part from the Latin “Regalis” for Kingdom.

Exploring different “REALMS” is a big part of many different games, and one of my personal favorites that came to mind after receiving today’s talk is Spyro: The Dragon original on PS1. You travel to different realms through portals to save dragons turned to stone by Gnasty Gnorc. This was my first experience with a “REALM” in a game – but certainly not the last!

What to play after Wordle

Once your daily Wordle is over, the question is: what are you going to play now?

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 the standard Wordle, while increasing the number of words you need to find. The challenge lies in how your guesses count for all words. So you need to decide whether you are 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 as 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!
