Today's Wordle Answer (August 1st #773)

Wordle August 1 Answer

The August 1st Wordle answer is TENTH.

We can it, we almost lost this one, our starting Wordle word IRATE only provided a few hints but that is usually enough to get going. For our second guess, we tried NEXTS which locked in the 'E' and provided a third letter. Moving forward we tried BENTO as our third guess. This is where the endless guessing game started.

It took a long time before we figured out another word that fit around the 'ENT' in the middle, our fourth guess was VENTI which proved to be wrong. For the fifth attempt we tried GENTY, also incorrect. For the longest time, we stared at the game, knowing this was our final attempt, then the possible repeated letter kicked in and we barely ended up salvaging a Wordle win-in-six with TENTH.
