Wordle #1120: Tips and Tricks to Solve Saturday's Puzzle
Wordle continues to challenge and entertain word game enthusiasts worldwide. As we reach puzzle #1120 on Saturday, July 13th, here are some helpful hints and strategies to tackle today's word.
The Hint and Clue
Today's Wordle hint is What you do in a play. The clue suggests that starting with origami wouldn't hurt. These cryptic hints point towards a word related to performance or action.
Optimal Starting Words
While many players have their favorite starting words, today's puzzle might benefit from words containing common letters like A, E, and T. The puzzle solver in our source article began with BLADE, which proved to be a strong opener, leaving only 19 possible solutions.
Solving Strategy
After the initial guess, focus on placing the 'E' correctly. In the example solve, ETHER was used as a second guess, revealing the position of 'E' and adding a yellow 'T' to the mix.
The Solution
Spoiler Alert: The answer to Wordle #1120 is ENACT.
This word fits perfectly with the hint about performing in a play, as actors enact roles on stage. It's also a common term in legislative contexts, meaning to make into law.
Etymology
Enact has its roots in Middle English, combining the prefix en- (meaning in or into) with act (from Latin actum - to do or drive). The word essentially means to put into action.
Competitive Wordle
For those playing competitively, solving this puzzle in three guesses would earn you 1 point. However, the Wordle Bot apparently solved it in two guesses, starting with CRANE - a reminder that sometimes luck plays a role in Wordle success.
Remember, Wordle is not just about winning, but also about the joy of word play and the daily mental challenge. Happy puzzling!
