Hints and clues for Wordle today
I know what it's like to look at those gray squares and try to think of a five-letter term that fits. When you're so close but so far away, it might be annoying. I had to think for a while on the beginning of Wordle #1485. Here are the hints that helped me, and I hope they help you too.
Hint 1: A general hint
This word usually means a little, imaginary creature.
Hint 2: Pay attention to where the letters are.

The Official Answer to Wordle #1485
Here's the answer to today's Wordle puzzle if you're still having trouble or just want to be sure your guess is correct.
The solution to Wordle #1485 for Sunday, July 13, is GNOME.
I have to say that "GNOME" was a smart one. The silent "G" is a typical Wordle curveball that is easy to miss if you aren't paying great attention to how the letters sound. I almost chose a different word that fulfilled the other criteria, but one quiet consonant rescued me. This is a reminder that every letter in Wordle, even the quiet ones, counts.
A Quick Guide to Playing Wordle
Wordle is a simple but addictive game for people who are new to the daily fixation. In six trials or fewer, you need to predict a five-letter word. The tiles change color after each guess. Green means the letter is correct and in the appropriate place, yellow means the letter is in the word but in the wrong place, and gray means the letter is not in the word at all.
This simple feedback loop is what makes the game so fun. It is a never-ending process of figuring things out and improving your vocabulary and logical reasoning. Every day at midnight, local time, a new puzzle surfaces, making the daily challenge new.
Advanced Tips and Tricks for Wordle
You can enhance your Wordle success rate a lot with a good technique, even though luck is a factor, especially with your first guess. I've learned that being careful makes all the difference.
Words to Start With
The first word you say is really important. I usually try to use terms that have a lot of common vowels and a combination of consonants that are used a lot. People like to use words like "ADIEU," "CRANE," "SLATE," or "RAISE" because they have a lot of similar letters, which makes it easier to find useful information quickly.
How often letters show up in English
Knowing how often letters appear changes everything. The letters E, A, R, O, T, and I are the most common in English words. On the other hand, letters like Z, J, and Q are not as common. To increase my odds of getting green or yellow tiles, I try to use letters that appear often in my first choices.
How to Analyze Past Guesses Well
A lot of players mess up here. Don't just guess at random after your first word. If a letter is gray, don't guess it again. If it is yellow, make sure that your next guess puts that letter in a different spot. If it's green, don't move it. I often write down the letters I've crossed out or affirmed to help me think clearly. This method cuts down on the number of words that may be used by a lot.
"Don't just guess!" says PuzzleMaster. To master Wordle, you need to know how often letters appear and which starting words to use. #WordleTips

Wordle Etymology: Learning the Meaning of Today's Word
One of the best things about Wordle is finding new words or learning where they came from. The word "GNOME" has a rather intriguing history. The Swiss alchemist Paracelsus came up with the name "gnomus" in the 16th century. It may stem from the Greek word "gnōmē," which means "thought" or "intelligence." At first, it meant an elemental spirit that lived on Earth. Folklore later changed the way people thought about a little, bearded statue in a garden.
The Social Side of Wordle
Wordle has created a lively community in addition to being a personal challenge. It is something that people all across the world have in common. I adore seeing my friends' green and yellow grids on social media every day. They show how we got to the answer without giving away the word itself.

This modest addition has converted a puzzle that was meant to be done alone into a conversation starter every day. It's a fun competition and a chance to feel connected, especially when we're all working on the same word.
