Today’s Wordle #498 Hint, Clues And Answer For Sunday, October 30th Word Of The Day

Tomorrow is the last day of October and the last Wordle of the 400’s. But why worry about tomorrow when we have today to enjoy?

It’s a bit of a bittersweet Sunday for me. House Of The Dragon is over! I still have The Walking Dead to write about, but that show has fallen on desperately hard times as it limps and stutters its way through its 11th—and final—season.

Thankfully, White Lotus kicks off tonight and I’ll be reviewing that one every Sunday going forward. I loved the first season—it was mayhem and debauchery and just brilliant all around—and I’m hoping this season (which is a new location and cast of characters) is as good.

Then, of course, there is still Andor on Disney Plus, which is the best Star Wars in years and one of the best shows of 2022 for sure. And The Dragon Prince returns to Netflix this coming week for its fourth season.

What shows are you watching these days? Let me know on Twitter or Facebook.

Okay, let’s do this Wordle!

Today’s Wordle Solution (Spoilers!)

The Hint: Something of an antiquated dance.

The Clue: There is only one vowel in this word.

The Answer:

So I’ll just get this right out there: Wordle Bot somehow got today’s in just two guesses! That’s definitely some luck but it makes sense. Slate is the bot’s opening guess and contains three of the letters in today’s Wordle (though not in order).

Still lucky, though. It took me four. Aurei was filled with vowels and yet only got me a single yellow box and left me with 423 remaining possibilities.

Goats eliminated the O and shaved that number down to just 8 and gave me a ‘T’ in green. Still a lot, but much more manageable.

Fortunately I ruled everything out but the answer with catty (I considered batty and fatty but it wouldn’t have mattered. With the ‘Y’ also out of the picture there wasn’t much left but waltz, though it took me a bit of time to come up with it. It’s not a word you hear or think about very often.

Four isn’t bad for a trickier word like this! We can’t all be cheating robots, after all!

Have a lovely, lazy Sunday, folks!
