Dicas e respostas do Wordle de hoje: Ajuda para 15 de abril de # 1031 –

Today’s Wordle answer might trip you up. It’s a mix of both very common letters and rarely guessed ones. Every day, we’ll post hints and then the answer for the current day’s Wordle, just in case you need it. Warning: If you keep reading, you’ll see the  Wordle  answer for Monday, April 15, puzzle No. 1031. That could be a devastating spoiler for some players. But if you just need the answer — maybe you’re on your last guess and just don’t want to see an 800-game streak go poof — keep reading. There are three vowels in today’s answer. Today’s word starts with a vowel but doesn’t end with one. There are no repeated letters in the answer. Today’s answer is a verb. Today’s answer begins with the letter E. Here comes the spoiler: Today’s Wordle answer is EQUIP, as in to supply or provide something. Yesterday’s Wordle answer was BLIMP.

April 10, No. 1026, BROTH April 11, No. 1027 LOUSE April 12, No. 1028 WHINY April 13, No. 1029 STEEL I’ve written a lot about Wordle — from  covering its 1,000th word  to my list of the  best starter words  to a  helpful two-step strategy  to news about  controversial word changes . I’ve even rounded up  what I learned playing the hit online word puzzle for a full year . So if you’re rethinking your need for the actual answer, you might try tips from one of those stories.

Still need a starter word? One person told me they just look around and choose a five-letter object that they’ve spotted to use as their starter word — such as COUCH or CHAIR. I tend to stick to starter words that have the most popular letters used in English words. I like TRAIN as a starter, though I have a friend who uses TRAIL. I’ve read that people  use the financial term ROATE , but I like to use words I actually know.

If you read this far, you know how to play. You have six chances to guess a five-letter word, and the game gives you feedback as to whether the letters you’ve guessed are in the puzzle or not, and if they’re in the same spot where you guessed they are. The New York Times  bought the game from creator Josh Wardle  for seven figures in 2022. Wardle famously created the game for his partner, and let her narrow down the 12,000 five-letter words in the English language to just 2,500, creating the database of answers. It was convenient, too, that he has a name that plays off “word.”

A Times spokesperson told me it lists the very first Wordle as appearing on June 19, 2021, and the paper  celebrated the game’s 1000th word on March 15 . Spoiler: That 1000th word was ERUPT. As in, “Dad will erupt if the Wordle is so tough he loses his streak.” There are other fun games in the Times Games stable. My  latest addiction is Connections , which I think is trickier than Wordle. This is the game where you look at a grid of 16 words and try to put them into four groups of related words. Sometimes the relationships between the words are pretty out there — like the time when it was four words that all began with rock bands, such as “Rushmore” and “journeyman.” (Connections got a little sassy on April Fools’ Day with an  all-emoji puzzle . Some gamers did NOT find that funny.) Spelling Bee  is a popular Times game too. And there’s a new game that’s still in beta,  Strands , which I’m trying to master.
