Today’s ‘Wordle’ #1474 Hints, Clues and Answer for Wednesday, July 2nd
It’s Wordle Wednesday! That means we have an additional puzzle to solve before the day comes to a close. I’m excited to see how many of you will successfully crack today’s riddle (or at least, identify the flaws in my creative attempt).
Let’s dive into the challenge.
A knight awakens, shackled in a stone cell. Water trickles in through the cracks, slowly rising. Across the room sits a sturdy table. Upon it rest three boxes: one red, one blue, and one gold. One and only one of these boxes contains the key to the cell. One box’s label tells the truth. One box’s label is a lie. One box’s label may be true or false. The knight may open only one box.
These are the labels:
* Red box: The key is not in this box.
* Blue box: The key is in the red box.
* Gold box: The key is not in the blue box.
Which box contains the key—and, therefore, the knight’s only chance at escaping his cruel prison alive? Let me know and I’ll post the answer tomorrow.
Now, let’s solve this Wordle!
The hint for today’s puzzle is… “Old cheese.”
The clue is: This Wordle ends with a vowel/consonant hybrid.
Okay, spoilers ahead! The answer is coming!
But before we reveal the solution, let’s get into the game. I used Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
The BEACH sounds nice and it wasn’t a bad opening Wordle guess. With 96 remaining words and one yellow ‘C’ I guessed CLOUT for my second guess. This reduced the number of words down to just 4, and at this point, I almost guessed INCUR but chose FICUS instead. Unfortunately, this was a mistake.
The answer was indeed INCUR!
