Today’s Wordle challenge may seem daunting, but there’s no need to fret. We’ve gathered some helpful clues to guide you through.
Wordle is a popular word puzzle game, offering players six attempts to guess a hidden five-letter word. Created by software engineer Josh Wardle and released in 2021, the game became a cultural phenomenon, leading to its acquisition by The New York Times in 2022.
Players can kick off their puzzles using any chosen “starter word.” As they make guesses, the blocks will change colors: green for the correct letter in the right position, yellow for the correct letter in the wrong spot, and gray for letters that are not part of the target word.
Tracy Bennett, the Wordle editor at The Times, shared in a 2023 interview that “there is no bad choice” when it comes to starter words. An analysis of over 515 million Wordle games in 2023 suggested “trace” as an effective go-to option for beginners.
Wordle can be played for free, but to track your statistics and access more analytical features, a subscription to the New York Times Games or a full New York Times subscription is necessary.
Today’s clues are as follows:
– The answer is both a noun and a verb.
– It evokes imagery associated with royals, such as Napoleon Bonaparte.
– The word contains three vowels (E, I) and has repeating letters.
– It begins with the letter “E.”
– As a noun, it describes a prolonged separation enforced away from one’s homeland, while as a verb, it means to banish someone.
The word you are looking for in today’s Wordle is “Exile.”
This word choice not only fits the criteria but highlights themes of separation and longing often reflected in historical contexts, making it a thought-provoking answer for this day’s puzzle. Happy playing!
