Today’s Wordle Clue and Answer Saturday July 13th for 1120

Because we know that a word game can be a bit too much for an already busy Saturday, we can help you with the Wordle Answer for Today, July 13, 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.

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

The Wordle answer today is ENACT.

After a hearty breakfast, I focused on finding the word of the day. On my first try, I chose “TALES” by searching for vowels and came pretty close with three letters. Working with “A,” “E,” and “T,” I arrived at “LEAST,” which showed me the correct position for two of them. Before I ran out of answers, I decided to try “NIECE” to see if I could find a new letter. That gave me the “C,” which was all I needed to find the final 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

“ENACT” is a term that originated in the early 15th century and refers to the act of representing in a performance. The word comes from the Middle English lexicon where we find “ENACTEN”. The word comes from the combination of the particle “EN” which indicates to stage and the verb “ACT”.

The word “ENACT” is also used in a context other than that of the theater. It can be used to indicate the act of constituting a law, a meaning which still appears in the 15th century.

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!
