Today’s Wordle tip and answer for Monday January 29 for 954

It’s the start of a brand new week, and we’re here to help you kick it off with the Wordle response for today, January 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.

Clues for today’s Wordle answer

Instead of jumping straight to the answer, you may only need a few clues to cross the line:

• This word contains a repeating letter, it is then the third and the fourth letter.
• Today’s word contains a vowel, which is not the repeated letter.
• This word starts with “L”.
• Today’s word can be used to describe something that has a very long body part that ends in feet.

Still not sure? Read on for the answer.

Wordle answer for word 954 from January 29, 2024

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

The Wordle answer today is LEGGY.

Guess who got the floor today on the first try? It wasn’t me, but I’m sure someone did it somewhere! I actually didn’t catch today’s word “LEGGY” in any of my guesses, because I had convinced myself it was “FOGGY.”

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 actual word “LEGGY”, although often used in its slang form, can be used to describe a plant that has an extremely long stem, which is much nicer than saying I have a few wavy plants in the garden in this moment. They don’t move, they are “LEGGY”.

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!
