Today’s Wordle Answer #510 – November 11, 2022 Solution And Hints

The solution word to today’s Wordle puzzle (#510 — November 11, 2022 ) is medal. The word is of French origin, from Middle French “medaille,” which is itself from Old Italian “medaglia,” the name for a coin worth half a denarius (via Merriam-Webster). A person could receive a medal or be medalled, and that would mean the same thing.

We weren’t very lucky today — it took five tries to solve the puzzle. As usual, we used a random word as an opening guess instead of playing a word from the recommended starting words list. Today, our starting guess was the word “spore,” which was particularly unlucky — WordleBot said there were still 314 possible solutions left. The second guess, “clean,” was much better at tidying things up — it narrowed the possible solutions down to just six. We tried the words “feral” and “metal” before the answer became clear, at which point we had lost all hopes of having bragging rights for solving the Wordle on time. We hope you do better, and otherwise you might also want to try your luck at these other Wordle-like games.
