Today’s Wordle Answer for Wednesday, April 17, 2024
If you still haven’t beaten today’s Wordle even with the clues provided above, the answer is below…
The answer to today’s Wordle is “TITHE“.
The word “Tithe” is most commonly a noun, but can also be a verb. In both cases, the word refers to a small tax or levy people in certain religions pay to their local religious establishment or organization. A tithe is usually one-tenth of your income, and is traditional in the Abrahamic religions. However, some branches of these religions have rejected the idea completely, while others have reduced the amount expected.
According to the Online Etymology Dictionary, the origin of “Tithe” is the Old English words “teogoþa” and “teoþa,” both of which refer to one-tenth of something. The Proto-Germanic word for this was “tegunthan,” which evolved from the Proto-Indo-European word “dekmto-” meaning ten. Specifying one-tenth of something used to refer to produce, but has been used to refer to support for religion since around the 1200s.
Our Top Wordle Tips (to Beat It Every Day)
- Choose a good starting word. There are plenty to choose from, so pick one from our list of the best Wordle starting words.
- Try to eliminate all five vowels early. As there are only a handful of vowels, it’s best to use them all within the first 2-3 guesses.
- Use popular letters early. As well as the vowels, letters such as T, S, N, R, H, C, D, and L appear most commonly in English words.
- Take your time over your guesses. Wordle isn’t timed, so there’s no rush to complete it. You can even guess on paper first.
- Remember that letters can appear twice (and often do). Keep this in mind when guessing, as forgetting it can lead you to mess up.
