Wordle Clue and Answer for Friday, August 16 for 1154

We did it! It’s finally Friday, the last day of the work week, so it’s time to celebrate. Before you do anything else, don’t forget to spend a few minutes crafting the Wordle Answer for Today, August 16, 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.

Clues for today’s Wordle answer

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

• This word contains two different vowels.
• There are no repeated letters in this word.
• This word begins with “B”.
• Put an “R” at the end of that word and you get the name of the famous non-governmental organization from the Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky series.

The Wordle answer today is SPACER.

Today I won quickly. I started with “NIGHT” and when I saw all the gray letters I thought I was doomed. Luckily my next answer, “WHALE,” gave me some hope. I then answered “CHASE,” which answered a few questions I had. First, what was between the “A” and the “E,” and second, what was the first letter. After thinking of a good word that would end in “ACE,” I remembered “BRACE.”

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

The history of the word “BRACE” goes back to the Greeks, where we find the word “BRAKHION”, which means arm. This word was probably taken over by Latin, because we have the Latin term “BRACCHIA” to designate an arm as well as a forearm. Later, we find the word “BRACE” in Old French, from which the English version comes.

It was not until around the 16th century that the meaning of something that holds two or more things together was associated with the word “BRACE”. At the same time, we find this term used as a synonym for prop.

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!
