Wordle Word Of The Day Answer #211, Sunday January 16th 2022

The new viral word game, Wordle, has taken the world by syntactical storm thanks to its simple and clever format.

People love a good brain-tease, and they love it even more when they’re not being flooded by ads, time-gates and micro-transactions.

And so Josh Wardle’s Wordle has become a hit, even if it’s not a hit designed to make oodles of money. Rather, it’s designed to entertain in the purest sense of the word.

If you like solving word puzzles on the fly, check out Wordle at its official website—and don’t get suckered in by clones on Google Play or the App Store. This is a browser game, albeit a very minimalist and very sleek one.

The basic rules are simple. Every day you need to guess a new word by entering five-letter words into a maximum of six rows. Each time you guess a correct letter it shows up as yellow (if it’s in the wrong spot) or green (if it’s in the right spot).

Using some logic, vocabulary and guess-work you solve for the Wordle word of the day. Before I give you the answer to today’s word, I’ll give you a hint.

Hint: Helios charges his phone with this kind of power.

Answer:

As you can see, this one took me one more row to figure out than yesterday’s Wordle word of the day. I got that one in four lines, this one in five.

I sort of feel silly for guessing “SONAR” before the correct answer, “SOLAR” but at least I got there. I was convinced I was going to guess right on line three with “SUGAR” but alas, it was not to be!

Still, I’ll take the win. I only found this fun little word puzzler yesterday and so far I’m two for two. We’ll see if I can keep that up. Good luck solving these, young padawans!
