Today's Wordle Riddle Reveals A Clever Twist With A Literary Touch
Hey everyone, it’s time to dive into today’s Wordle challenge—#1433—and trust me, it comes with a twist that blends clever wordplay and a subtle literary nod. If you're a Wordle enthusiast or even a casual daily puzzler, today's game is one you’ll want to talk about. Let’s break it down like we’re sitting over coffee, walking through the logic, the riddles, the guesswork, and of course, the satisfaction of that “Aha!” moment.
So, today’s Wordle dropped on Thursday, May 22nd. We got a riddle-themed lead-in yesterday on Wordle Wednesday, a tradition that’s quickly becoming one of the more fun aspects of the weekly Wordle cycle. Yesterday’s riddle had a distinctly Scottish flavor: “A wee, wee man in a red, red coat…” and the poetic lines led us to the answer “cherry”—a clever visual metaphor. That set the tone nicely for today.
Now let’s get into the puzzle itself. The hint? “Turn the page.” That was intriguing in itself. When a hint nudges you towards literature or reading, you know you're in for a word that’s slightly off the beaten path. Then there was the added clue: “This Wordle has a double letter.” That can help tremendously if you're trying to narrow things down—especially by the second or third guess.

I started with the word HOTEL —a solid opening guess. Plenty of vowels, common consonants. It gave me some useful information right off the bat. My next move, CHAIN , was less strategic in hindsight, as it reused an already eliminated letter. A bit of a misstep, sure, but that’s part of the game. You don’t always play it perfectly, but every guess leads you closer to that target.
Then came SOLID , a step in the right direction. It didn’t seal the deal, but it got me to FOLIO . And that was the magic word.
FOLIO ! Not only does it fit the hint perfectly— “turn the page” clearly points to something book-related—but it also fits the double-letter clue, as the “O” is repeated. A folio, for those unfamiliar, refers to a sheet of paper folded once to make two leaves or four pages. It’s a format used in books, especially in older or special-edition manuscripts. The word itself comes from the Latin folium , meaning “leaf”—as in the leaf of a tree, and by extension, a page of a book. So it’s got some serious etymological pedigree, too.
For those playing competitively with Wordle Bot, here's how the points shook out: I scored zero for solving it in four guesses but picked up one point for beating the Bot, who needed five. That keeps the monthly battle neck-and-neck—Erik at 14, the Bot at 15. It’s a fun way to add a little rivalry to your daily puzzle time.
So there you have it. Today’s Wordle was more than just a game—it was a little literary lesson, a touch of clever design, and a nice challenge all wrapped into one. Whether you solved it quickly or took the scenic route, the joy is in the journey. Catch you all for tomorrow’s Wordle—and remember, Fridays are 2XP days, so bring your A-game!
