Today’s Wordle #510 Friday, November 11th Hints, Clues And Answer

Thank all the trees in the forest, and all the beasts on the land, and all the fish sea and the birds in the sky and the rocks and the dirt and the fresh air . . . it’s finally Friday!

It’s kind of an important Friday, too. Today is Veteran’s Day, a day where we honor everyone who has served in the US Armed Forces over the years—and hopefully a day that makes us think about the cost of war on the men and women who serve, and what we can do to help those who fall through the cracks.

A somber day, but one of celebration nonetheless.

I actually didn’t pick a Veteran’s Day themed word for today’s Wordle (which I’m grateful for because my opening word was nearly perfect) but there are plenty to choose from: tanks, bombs, rifle, boots, medal, naval, serve, camos, plane.

In any case, have a great day off of work and out of school and have some fun with your friends and family. Maybe watch a good war movie like Saving Private Ryan, 1917 or Hacksaw Ridge.

And now, let’s solve this Wordle!

Today’s Wordle Solution Guide (Spoilers!)

The Hint: Actually, I already gave you a hint.

The Clue: There are no repeat letters in this word.

The Answer:

Okay, so this is the first time I’ve given away the answer in the first part of the post, but I hid it among many other possible answers so . . . I think that was clever and subtle enough. I was feeling generous given how quickly I solved this one.

I also kind of love that it’s a “themed” word for Veteran’s Day! It’s probably totally accidental (unless they’re curating the list more carefully than I realized).

In any case, I was thinking of my gamertag in Call Of Duty because I’ve been playing oodles of Modern Warfare II lately and my gamertag is very similar to the word diablo which would make a great opening guess except for that it’s six letters long (and Spanish). But translate that to English and you get devil. So I went with it, thinking it might be decent.

Turns out it was nearly perfect, leaving me with just two possible solutions. That’s crazy good, but my opening guess yesterday was even better. I figure this is the third best possible guess. Yesterday I had just one answer remaining after my opener and the only thing better than that is guessing the right word off the bat.

In any case, devil left me with two options: medal or pedal. I couldn’t think of anything else and, given it’s Veteran’s Day and all, I went with medal. Huzzah for me!

Huzzah for our veterans! And pray for peace.
