Wordle #1466 Cracks the Code with “Elite” on June 24
Hey everyone! If you're anything like me, you know that morning coffee hits just a bit different when you’re staring down those five mysterious gray squares on Wordle . And today—Tuesday, June 24th, puzzle #1466—was no exception. Let’s walk through today’s challenge, share a little strategy, and of course, reveal the answer if you haven't peeked already.
So, here’s how it went. I started off with “AWOKE”—a word I rarely pick because of its vowel-heavy structure. But hey, sometimes you’ve gotta mix it up. One green square, but not much else. That opening guess left me with 182 possible answers, so not exactly a grand slam. Next up: “GUTSY.” A whole new set of letters and a bit of a gamble, but I did manage to dig up a yellow “T.” Progress!
From there, I tried “TRIBE.” That guess narrowed things down drastically. And then it hit me—the final word was “ELITE.”

Yep, elite . A fitting word for today, honestly. It means the best of the best, the top of the crop—and not a bad way to describe how it feels to crack Wordle in four.
What’s interesting is how deceptively simple “ELITE” looks on paper. It’s one of those words with more vowels than consonants, which can throw you off if you're used to anchoring your guesses around common consonant-heavy words. It also doesn’t have any repeating letters, so if you’re using a strategy that banks on double letters, you’d have been thrown completely.
A little etymology for the word nerds: “elite” comes from the French élite , meaning “selection” or “choice,” and further back from Latin eligere , meaning “to choose.” Kinda poetic when you think about it. Every morning, Wordle makes us choose—guess wisely or spiral into six tries of panic.
Now, for the scorekeepers out there: I got it in four, which earns me zero points in the Competitive Wordle format, but I lost to the Bot, who got it in three. That’s minus one for me. Still, I’m holding my own in the monthly tally.
Whether you're just playing casually or battling it out with the Wordle Bot like I am, today’s puzzle was a good mix of challenge and satisfaction. The key takeaway? Don't be afraid to try an unexpected starting word. Sometimes it’s the oddball choices that lead to the most insight.
Alright, that’s a wrap for today’s Wordle breakdown. Tomorrow’s puzzle awaits, and you can bet I’ll be back for more linguistic acrobatics. Good luck, fellow Wordlers—and may your guesses always land green!
