Wordle Hint & Answer of the Day #753: Wednesday, July 12
[7/12 (753)] A hint written especially for (753) to get you out of your rut, or a little peek at today's answer.

Well, this Wordle certainly took a while. I eventually found some letters, but they refused to work, and for a worryingly long time I didn't know what to do with them. In a situation like this, one has to persistently keep guessing until an important green or valuable inspiration strikes.

Today's answer refers to a type of movement, a high-speed circular spin performed by everything from trained dancers to leaves rustling in the wind. The same word also means "to try something." This one has only one vowel.

There are no double letters in today's puzzle.

Playing Wordle well is like getting a small victory every day:

There is no time pressure. It doesn't hurt to come back later if you struggle to find an answer or find a tactical word for your next guess.

Keep winning.The answer to the July 12 (753) wordle is WHIRL.

Knowing the answers to past wordls helps eliminate the possibility of the present. Since the same word is unlikely to be repeated, it is possible to find clues for guesses or words that are not known.

Here are some recent Wordle answers:

Wordle gives you six columns of five boxes each day, and your job is to eliminate or check which five-letter word is hidden and which letter it contains.

You should start with strong words such as LEASH, i.e., words that contain multiple vowels, common consonants, and non-repeating letters; pressing Enter will show you the correct or incorrect letter in the box. If the box goes to ⬛️, it means that the letter is not in the secret word. means the letter is in the word, but not in that position. means that the correct letter is in the correct position.

The second time around, you will need to compliment the starting word, using another "good" guess to cover the common letter you missed last time, while avoiding the letter you now know for sure is not present in today's answer. After that, you simply use what you have learned to narrow down the correct word. You can try six times in all, and you can only use real words (so you can't fill the box with EEEEE to see if there is an E). Letters can be repeated (e.g. BOOKS).

Wordle was originally conceived by software engineer Josh Wardle as a surprise for his partner, who loved word games. From there it spread to his family and was finally released to the public. Since then, the word puzzle game has spawned a slew of Wordle-like games, focusing the daily gimmicks on music, math, and geography, and it wasn't long before Wordle became so popular that it was sold to the New York Times for a seven-figure sum. Indeed, it would only be a matter of time before we would be communicating solely through tricolored boxes.
