Wordle Hint for Today: Friday, August 8 – Puzzle #1511 Answer Revealed
Competitive Wordle fans, it’s a big day. Not only is it 2XP Friday – where your score can double, for better or worse – but today’s puzzle has left many players scratching their heads. If you’ve been searching for the perfect Wordle hint, we’ve got you covered.
Before we dive into today’s clue, there’s a quick look back at yesterday’s special challenge – a tricky Norse mythology puzzle that stumped more than a few.
Odin set quite the task:
“Thor — Wood — 1,000
Freyja — Ice — 2,000
Loki — Stone — 3,000
Tyr — Bones — 4,000
Baldur — Gold — 5,000″
With that out of the way, onto the main event, Wordle #1511.
How Today’s Wordle Works?
For anyone new, Wordle is a global daily puzzle where you have six attempts to guess a five-letter word. Feedback is colour-coded:
- Green means the letter is in the right spot.
- Yellow means it’s in the word but in the wrong place.
- Grey means it’s not in the word at all.
Players use logic, deduction, and sometimes sheer luck to land the win. Some even take on Competitive Wordle, playing against friends, bots, or rivals for points.
Today’s Wordle Hint
The official starting word from Wordle Bot was SLATE. Our attempt began with SPORE, leaving 153 possible solutions.
“The Hint: Add a property to something.” “The Clue: There are more vowels than consonants in this Wordle.”
With AGILE as the second guess, the pool dropped to just nine options. UNTIE narrowed it to one, and IMBUE sealed the victory.
Neither player – human or bot – gained an edge today. Both finished in four guesses, leaving the score unchanged:
“Erik: 4 points
Wordle Bot: 0 points”
And no, you can’t double that for 2XP Friday.
Competitive Wordle Rules Recap
Guess it in one try? That’s three points. Two guesses? Two points. The further you go, the fewer points you get – and miss it entirely, you lose three. Fridays double the stakes, meaning risk-takers could either soar or sink.
Word Origin of the Day
“Imbue” comes from the Latin imbuere, meaning “to moisten” or “to saturate.” The meaning evolved to signify infusing something with a quality or spirit – a poetic nod to today’s puzzle.
