If you're diving into today's Wordle, #1150, you're in for an interesting challenge. This particular puzzle, which marks a midpoint in the 1100 series, has intrigued players with its unique twist. Today’s hint reveals that the word is a type of ship and includes a double letter, adding a layer of complexity to the game. For those eager to solve it, the answer is revealed below, so if you want to avoid spoilers, proceed with caution.
In terms of strategy, today’s Wordle posed quite a puzzle. My initial guess, "SMITE," yielded two green boxes but left me with a mere 21 possibilities. Opting to explore new letters, I tried "CLUNK," which brought me closer but still fell short. Eventually, I was left with the choices "SPIKY" and "SKIFF," where I picked the word with the more distinct letters. Despite my efforts, "SPIKY" turned out to be the correct answer.
Analyzing the day’s gameplay, it seems the competitive edge was somewhat muted. I ended up tying with the Wordle Bot, each of us guessing "SPIKY" on the third try. This resulted in no points gained, marking a rather lackluster performance in the competitive sphere. In competitive Wordle scoring, guessing in one try scores three points, in two tries scores two points, and so forth, with losing results in negative points. With no points gained for today's guess, the ultimate outcome felt quite anticlimactic.
For some etymology, the word "skiff" traces its roots back to Middle English and Old French, derived from the Italian "schifo," which comes from the Germanic "skip," meaning "ship." Historically, a skiff refers to a lightweight, maneuverable boat often used for fishing or transport, underscoring the maritime theme of today’s puzzle.
