Today’s Wordle Answer #499 – October 31, 2022 Solution And Hints

The solution to today’s Wordle puzzle (#499 – October 31, 2022) is aptly. It’s a derivative of the word apt, which traces back to Old French’s “ate” or Modern French’s “apte,” meaning “fitting, suitable, appropriate.” It also has roots in the Latin word “aptus,” which means “fit, suited, proper, appropriate” (via Etymonline).

As with yesterday and the day before, we played the game by the rulebooks today. Our opening guess, salet, is one of the expert-recommended Wordle starting words, and it paid off nicely since it contains three out of the five letters in the answer. We followed up with the word ultra, which didn’t turn any tiles green but was still helpful with whittling down possible solutions. After our third guess with the word fatal, we had enough information to solve the puzzle on the fourth try. Again, we hope you do even better, and here are some more games like Wordle if you want to further satisfy your puzzle craving.
