Find the Wordle Answer for Today, July 7, 2024 This might not be the kind of challenge you’re looking for on a lazy Sunday, but don’t worry, because we can help!

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.

Even with the above clues, are you still not sure and want to keep going?

The Wordle answer today is CANON.

Finding “CANON” was quite an adventure. Starting with “LEARN” and continuing with “BACON,” I got enough letters to work with. Unfortunately, my next two guesses didn’t work, and it wasn’t until my fifth attempt, when I tried “CAPON,” that I got closer to the answer.

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 word “CANON” in the sense of a valid collection of works is common when talking about games and has been used in this sense since 1934 in connection with the Sherlock Holmes series. This is not, however, the only meaning that the word “CANON” has.

The term “CANON” can designate a law, but this meaning is linked to a more ecclesiastical usage. In Latin, “CANON” designates the rule issued by the Church.

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 tweaked 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 toward all 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 based 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!
