Another day, another Wordle puzzle for word game enthusiasts to solve.
Spoiler warning! The answer to today’s Wordle puzzle is below—read on at your own risk!
The viral hit game Wordle is lots of fun, and I’m up early each day (or late each night) to figure out the solution for each Wordle word of the day, just in case you’re having trouble.
Read on for the rules of the game and a hint to help you get started.
How To Play Wordle
If you’re not familiar with the free-to-play browser game, you can check it out right here. There are no ads and it’s entirely free-to-play. It’s not monetized at all—though there are clones trying to cash in on Josh Wardle’s clever creation.
The rules are simple. You’re given six rows of five boxes. In each box, you need to guess a word.
- When you guess the right letter in the wrong spot, the box turns yellow.
- When you guess the right letter in the right spot, the box turns green.
- All incorrect letters are grey.
You get six guesses to win—or lose—and just one word a day.
Here’s today’s hint: If you’re acting on behalf of someone else, you are this.
Tuesday, January 18th Wordle Word Of The Day Solution
I admit, I got kind of lucky with this one, though I did go through every vowel except “A” before I got the answer. Actually, I just couldn’t make “A” fit. With the “O” right in the middle and the “E” and “I” out of play from the get-go, I had few options.
Arrogantly, I thought I’d get it right with “PROUD” and when I didn’t I was pretty much stumped for a while, trying to think of any words that started “PRO” could cram an “A” in somewhere.
Then I saw the X and it clicked. What else could it be other than “PROXY?” Sure enough, that’s the Wordle word of the day. And, uh, I hope I’ve answered that on your behalf!
