The Wordle answer today is TREE.
I wish I had a more exciting story to tell about how I came up with the answer to today’s puzzle. My first guess was “TRUC” and while trying to find inspiration for my next word, I looked at my keyboard and saw the word “ENTER”. This was not the final answer and it didn’t give me any extra letters to work with. Following the same strategy, I saw the word “SHIFT” and didn’t know how close I was when I decided to try this one. After changing the one wrong letter, I got the final answer.
Now you have the answer, don’t reveal it to others! Remember that you can sh are 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?
