Today’s Wordle tip and answer for Monday February 5 for 961

It’s time to pause and reflect to solve the problem. Wordle response for today, February 5.

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.

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

The Wordle answer today is REPEL.

I had difficulty finding the response from Le Monde d’heure, you could almost say that it put me off. (No, you shouldn’t. It was horrible and I hate myself.) I threw out “Arise,” “Curve,” and “Plore,” but it wasn’t until I tried “Leper” that I I found the answer. All you had to do was reverse the first and last letters.

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

“Repel” finds its origin in the Latin word “Repellere”. Here, “Re” refers to “Back,” while “Pellere” means “to drive” or “to strike.” In Old French this would turn into “Repeller” with a similar definition.

As we mentioned in the hints section, there’s a good chance you know “Repel” from the main Pokémon game. This is an item that you can either find in the wild or purchase from PokéMarts and when used will prevent you from encountering wild Pokémon for a certain number of stages.

What to play after Wordle

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

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!
