GRIND
Today’s Wordle definition
And here’s what it means, according to our good friend ChatGPT:
The term “grind” has multiple meanings depending on the context in which it is used. Here are a few common definitions:
- Grinding (physical action): The process of reducing something to small particles or powder by crushing it. For example, grinding coffee beans or spices.
- Grind (hard work): Refers to the act of working very hard and continuously, often in a monotonous or repetitive manner. This is commonly used to describe the effort put into achieving a goal, such as studying for exams or working long hours.
- Grind (video games): In gaming, grinding refers to the repetitive activity of performing tasks or defeating enemies to gain experience points, in-game currency, or other rewards necessary to progress.
- Grind (dance): A style of dance that involves close physical contact and often involves one person rubbing their body against another in a rhythmic manner.
- Grind (daily routine): The routine, often mundane and repetitive, of daily life, typically involving work or school. For example, “the daily grind” refers to the routine tasks and responsibilities people must complete every day.
Each definition shares a common theme of continuous, repetitive effort or motion.
Tips for tomorrow’s Wordle
It might seem like Wordle is all luck, but there are a few good practices you can use to help get as many clues as possible in just a few guesses, making it that much more likely you can figure out the final word before you run out of tries. The most important guess is your first, and the trick is to load up on vowels (A, E, I, O, and U).
Some popular starting words people have had good luck with are “adieu,” “media,” “arise,” and “radio.” Just make sure not to pick a word with double letters, or you’re wasting precious guesses. The aim here is to try to figure out which vowels the mystery word contains, then layer in common consonants and close in from there.
Your second word, assuming that the first one gave you a good jumping-off point, should begin to lean more heavily on common consonants like R, S, and T. More good ones here we’ve seen are “stern,” “irate,” and “atone.” You never want to reuse any letters from a prior round that showed up as gray — you know they aren’t in the word.
Now that’s all solved and the definition is taken care of, and you’re armed with some tips to crush tomorrow’s Wordle, here are some games like Wordle you can try today.
