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

Finally, I got lucky. There is a lot to say since I started playing the game with the word “PLACE”. Based on the information that this word gave me, I thought that the “L” could be placed between the two vowels. After thinking about a word with such an arrangement of letters, I remembered “SCALE”. Bingo!

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
Like the plates found in fish and snakes, the word “SCALE” comes from the Old French term “ESCALE”, which refers to the shell and covering of animals. The origins of the word go back to the Proto-Germanic “SKAELA”, a term used to indicate the act of splitting.
The history of the word “SCALE” which refers to the weighing instrument is different. Appearing around the 1500s, it probably comes from the old Norse term “SKAL”, which refers to a bowl and a drinking cup.

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!
