Wordle answer for word 1118 on July 11, 2024
Even with the above clues, are you still not sure and want to keep going?
The Wordle answer today is CAMEO.
Today was not a good day for solving puzzles. For my first try, I chose “SQUAD” followed by “ARBOR”. These two words indicated some vowels present in the word but nothing about their position. I wanted to find at least one consonant, so I tried “LIGHT” and “TOPIC”. It was only on my last try with “CARRY” that I managed to place the first two letters correctly, but it was already too late.
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
Before “CAMEO” was used to refer to Spiderman’s appearance in Revenge of the Shinobi, the term had a long tradition involving gemstone work. Specifically, it has traces of the medieval Latin word “CAMMAEUS” which referred to the art of engraving gemstones.
The most common use of the word today, denoting a person making a brief appearance, may have started around 1928, when we found a connection with the idea of a small role or character that stands out.

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.
