Today’s ‘Wordle’ #1365 Hints, Clues And Answer For Saturday, March 15th
By Erik Kain
Saturday is here, and with it comes a new Wordle to solve. As we dive into the hints and clues for today’s puzzle, let’s first look at the given information.
The Hint: Rather a large spoon.
The Clue: Today’s Wordle has a double letter.
With these in mind, let’s tackle the puzzle together. I must admit that my initial approach was quite random – I picked DRAIN for no particular reason, and surprisingly, it ended up being rather effective, leaving me with 91 words to guess.
Using the two yellow boxes I had, I decided to try PLEAD and managed to get four more. By this point, there were only two remaining words, but my creative juices couldn’t come up with anything better than LADLE – thankfully, it wasn’t ADDLE or else I would have been utterly perplexed!
Competitive Wordle Score
As per the usual rules of Competitive Wordle Guessing, I earn 1 point for guessing in three and another point for beating the Bot. The Bot, on the other hand, receives 0 points for guessing in four and loses to me by -1 point. This brings our monthly totals to…
My March Running Total: 17 points.
Wordle Bot’s Running Total: 3 points.
For those who want to engage in this competitive aspect of Wordle, here are the rules:
* Guessing in 1 is worth 3 points; guessing in 2 is worth 2 points; guessing in 3 is worth 1 point; guessing in 4 is worth 0 points; guessing in 5 is -1 points; guessing in 6 is -2 points and missing the Wordle is -3 points.
* If you beat your opponent, you get 1 point. If you tie, you get 0 points. And if you lose to your opponent, you get -1 point.
* You can keep a daily running score or just play for a new score each day. Fridays are 2XP, meaning you double your points—positive or negative.
Today’s Wordle Etymology
Before we part ways with today’s puzzle, let me provide some etymological insight on the answer word LADLE. The term “ladle” originates from Old English hlædel, which translates to “a ladle or a scoop,” derived from the verb hladan, meaning “to load, draw out, or heap up.” Interestingly, this root is also related to the word “load.” As time went by, hlædel evolved into Middle English ladel and eventually became the modern English term “ladle.” Given its origins, it’s clear that a ladle indeed functions as a tool for extracting or carrying liquids.
