After each guess, the game gives feedback to help you get closer to the answer:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Green<\/strong>: The letter is in the word and in the correct spot.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Yellow<\/strong>: The letter is in the word, but in the wrong spot.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gray<\/strong>: The letter is not in the word at all.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Use these clues to narrow down your guesses. Every day brings a new word, and everyone around the world is trying to solve the same puzzle. Some Wordlers also play Competitive Wordle against friends, family, the Wordle Bot or even against me, your humble narrator. See rules for Competitive Wordle toward the end of this post.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Today\u2019s Wordle Hints And Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Wordle Bot\u2019s Starting Word: <\/strong>SLATE<\/li>\n<li><strong>My Starting Word Today:<\/strong> STAIN (342 words left)<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Hint<\/strong>: Moana might say this.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Clue:<\/strong> This Wordle begins and ends with the same letter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Okay, <strong>spoilers below!

First, I\u2019ve been on this crazy health and strength-building kick and my goal is to be the \u201cViking Jason Momoa\u201d (which, yeah, probably not gonna happen but a boy can dream). Second, because of this video I just watched:<\/p>\n<p>So once I thought of ALOHA it just seemed like a natural choice.

It is often analyzed as alo (\u201cpresence,\u201d \u201cfront,\u201d or \u201csharing\u201d) + h\u0101 (\u201cbreath of life\u201d). While commonly translated as \u201chello\u201d or \u201cgoodbye,\u201d aloha more broadly conveys love, compassion, peace, affection, and mutual respect. Its deeper cultural meaning reflects a spirit of kindness and shared humanity.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to follow me for all your daily puzzle-solving guides, TV show and movie reviews and more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/erikkain\/#196d790943ab\" target=\"_self\" class=\"color-link\" title=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/erikkain\/#196d790943ab\" data-ga-track=\"InternalLink:https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/erikkain\/#196d790943ab\" aria-label=\"here on this blog\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">here on this blog<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"How to solve today&#8217;s Wordle.
