Today’s Wordle #478 Answer, Hint And Clues For Monday, October 10th

Well, October is a third of the way over already. We’re exactly three weeks away from Halloween and a night of costumes, candy and merrymaking. Halloween also marks the 499th Wordle. After that, we’ll have just over 1,800 remaining. That’s about five more years of Wordles.

(I miscalculated originally and thought #500 fell on Halloween, but it’s actually November 1st).

After that, we’ll see. The New York Times could start over, or bump the game up to six-letter words, which is something I’ve been hoping we’d get at some point.

Six-letter Wordles would be a bit harder, changing the nature of the game in a big way without making up new rules.

In any case, let’s take a look at today’s Wordle #478.

Today’s Wordle Solution (Spoilers Ahead!)

The Hint: To take delight in something.

The Clue: This word begins with a vowel.

The Answer:

Dang, five guesses. Yesterday I was so happy that I’d gotten the answer in three, while Wordle Bot got the answer in five. Now, the tables have turned. Wordle Bot, using slate, got the answer in three, with diner as guess #2.

My opening guess left me with 578 possible choices, but I was down to 10 after following up quiet with alone. Ten is still a lot, unfortunately, and demon—while eliminating eight possibilities—still left me with two and I picked the wrong one. Envoy felt right but enjoy ended up being the correct answer.

No huzzah for me today!

Be well, dear Wordlers! Have a happy Monday!
