Today's Wordle Answer (August 12th #419)
The August 12th Wordle answer is LABEL.
Nothing too tricky today, our starting Wordle word was IRATE, which is one of our standard go-to words. Today it only provided an incorrectly placed 'A' and 'E'. Having the vowels right off the bat is always a good thing, so for our second guess, we shifted them down a bit with MASED. This gave us the correct positions for both 'A' and 'E' and provided another chunk of incorrect letters. Our third attempt got us a little closer to the goal, we went with BAGEL. This locked in 'L' at the correct position and added 'B' in an incorrect place. Knowing there are only two spaces left it was easy to figure out where the 'B' went, this left us with 'ABEL' at the end of the word and after just a little questioning we nailed it and got a Wordle win-in-four with LABEL.
