Today’s Wordle Tip and Answer on Thursday, April 4 for 1020

Grab a treat and sit down with us to discover the Wordle response for today, April 4.

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.

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

• There is a vowel in this word.
• Today’s word has no repeated letters.
• The word starts with “C”.
• This word can mean to climb a slope or to climb a slope.

Still not sure? Read on for the answer.

Wordle answer for word 1020 from April 4, 2024

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

The Wordle answer today is CLIMB.

That word almost took me out, but the key word is almost. After guessing the “C” and “B” with “BEACH”, it took a few more attempts to get today’s word “CLIMB” on my penultimate guess.

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

It is said that the current word “CLIMB” comes in part from the Old English “CLIMBAN” which means to make an ascent or to rise gradually. Aside from the spelling of the two words and how you pronounce them, there is virtually no difference in how you use them.

Also, many games in which you have to climb come to mind. I could talk about Horizon Zero Dawn and how climbing is an integral part of exploring the landscape here, but I’m going to stray a bit from my mark. Instead, I’m going to talk about climbing Mount Corel. I didn’t expect it to be this intense or entertaining to follow Cloud and company to the top of a seemingly endless mountain, and yet all I want to do is “CLIMB” again .

What to play after Wordle

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

You can of course try the other word games offered by the New York Times, such as Spelling Bee, Mini Crossword and Letter Boxed. You can also try your luck at Connections, the daily Sudokus and Tiles – a rather additive pattern matching game.

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!
