The solution to today’s Wordle puzzle (#537 – December 8, 2022) is infer. It’s from Middle French “inferer,” itself from Latin inferre, which literally means “to carry or bring into” (via Merriam-Webster).
Like yesterday, we were lucky enough to solve the puzzle in only three tries today. Our opening guess, banjo, beat down the number of possible answers from the standard 2,315 to 174. The next guess, inked, further shrunk the pool to just six possible answers, and after that, we made a lucky third guess.
WordleBot solved the puzzle in just as many tries, although its approach was slightly different: as usual, its first guess was the recommended starting word, slate. It followed that with the word diner, and then it hit the home run on the third try. We hope you have even better luck, but if you don’t find this article early enough to solve the puzzle on time, here are other games like Wordle to try.
