Thursday, May 19th Solution Guide

It’s Thursday—again. No surprise there. Thursday typically falls just after Wednesday, and we just had one of those. Soon it will be Friday. Soon it will be the weekend and then another week and then another Thursday.

Wordle will be with us along the way, with just over six years of 5-letter answers left to solve for the daily word puzzle game. Kind of crazy to think about!

Wordle officially launched last October, but the very first Wordle word of the day was actually released on June 19th, 2021—a day before my 40th birthday. The very first answer for Wordle #1 was ‘cigar.’

This means that we’re actually exactly one month away from the game’s anniversary (and just about one month away from my 41st birthday!) on June 19th, 2022.

In any case, today we’re on Wordle #334. Let’s take a look at the hint and answer, shall we?

Today’s Wordle #334 Answer & Hint

Naturally, there spoilers in this post about the Wordle word of the day answer and hint. One spoiler is the hint. One spoiler is the answer. That makes two—two spoilers! Ah ha ha!

The hint: The type of house you probably shouldn’t throw things in.

And the answer is . . . .

My first guess is a ‘great opening word’ according to Wordle (if still inferior to crane, as always). Normally flare cuts down possible solutions to 98, but today it cut them down to 26.

Plant was a ‘solid choice’ and narrowed possible solutions to just nine, but Wordle Bot didn’t sound very enthusiastic when it told me this. Claim was just ‘pretty good’ despite cutting possible solutions down to just two. Guessing class would have been better—obviously in hindsight!—but I was going for maximum letter-elimination and a word with a double ‘ss’ seemed like a bad idea.

At this point, unbeknownst to your humble narrator, there were just two solutions left and I guessed the wrong one. Slash was “unlucky, but a smart guess” and it narrowed my remaining solutions to just one: Glass.

Which, by the way, is a truly terrible M. Night Shyamalan movie. I really liked Unbreakable and thought Split was also pretty good, but boy oh boy did he screw up the third movie in that sort-of-trilogy. Just a massive miss.

Anyways, have a terrific Thursday, oh my Wordlers! See you tomorrow!
