EDITOR'S NOTE: This article is for Wordle answer #418; the August 12th Wordle answer is available now.
August 11th's Wordle answer is yet another confusing and difficult solution or players to solve. What's weird is that the solution doesn't really fit the mold of a common word that can be easily guessed with common starting words. This word first appeared in the English language around the 14th Century, and the meaning of the word has changed with time. The word's origin is in Old French, which used to mean gathering remaining grain. However, today the word means something similar but can be used in a broader context.
Even though today's Wordle answer isn't a common word used in daily conversation, it is still used for scenarios. While today's Wordle answer does not have a repeating letter, it has two different vowels next to each other. This makes today's solution the perfect candidate for solving in Wordle's hard mode. Due to the stringent rules, players may just get lucky and figure out the answer without sacrificing too many attempts. However, players who do not want to go through the ordeal of using the hard mode can use the spoiler-free hints below.
