Today's ‘Wordle' #1484 Hints, Clues And Answer For Saturday, July 12th
Looking for Friday's Wordle hints, clues and answer? You can find them here:
Not only is it Saturday, it's also the 14th anniversary of the publication of A Dance With Dragons, the fifth—and most recent—in George R.R. Martin's A Song Of Ice And Fire fantasy series. Fourteen years we've waited for The Winds Of Winter, and perhaps we will wait another fourteen before it sees the light of day.
It's also my son's fifteenth birthday. Happy birthday kiddo! He turned one when A Dance With Dragons came out, which made reading that book a little trickier in terms of time and energy. I still devoured it, of course. I didn't think my kids would be nearing adulthood before the next book came out. My daughter had just turned four at the time and now she's 18! Life comes at you fast.
Okay, enough rambling. Let's solve this Wordle!
How To Solve Today's Wordle

SHAME wasn't the best opening guess—what a shame!—but CLOUT slashed the 162 remaining words down to just 10. I went for BILGE because I could think of a few 'B' words, but this was just off the mark. Thankfully, only EXILE remained. Huzzah!

0 points for the Bot and I thanks to guessing in four and tying. Our July totals remain:
Erik: -2 points
Wordle Bot: 8 points
The word "exile" comes from Latin exilium, meaning "banishment," from exul or exsul, meaning "a banished person." This is likely formed from ex- ("out") and a root meaning "to leap or move," though the exact second element is uncertain. It entered English via Old French exil.

Naomi Shocks WWE Fans With Successful Cash-in at 'Evolution'
Naomi Shocks WWE Fans With Successful Cash-in at 'Evolution' originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Naomi has left WWE fans in shock following "Evolution 2025." Rhea Ripley took center stage with Iyo Sky for the main event of WWE "Evolution 2025." Sky entered the match as the WWE Women's World Championship. "Raw" general manager Adam Pearce allowed Sky to pick her challenger for the all-women's PLE. Advertisement Sky chose Ripley because she wanted to face the best contender. A singles win over Sky continues to elude Ripley, as Naomi made a stunning cash-in. With both Ripley and Sky down on the mat after wrestling at a rapid pace, Naomi's music hit. She ran down to the ring with another referee and made her cash-in official. Naomi sent Ripley into the ring post and hit Sky with a split-legged moonsault to score the pin. Naomi, a "SmackDown" superstar, now holds "Monday Night Raw's" biggest female title. Naomi will now enter "SummerSlam" as a member of the red brand. The biggest WWE event of the summer is less than a month away, so the build to Naomi's first title defense could start as soon as Monday's episode of the red brand. Advertisement Ripley and Sky will likely have plenty to say about what transpired at the conclusion of "Evolution 2025." If Naomi can hold on to her championship through the rest of the month and past "SummerSlam," then she could already have her "Clash in Paris" challenger locked in. Stephanie Vaquer won the battle royal at "Evolution" after eliminating Lash Legend to secure a world title opportunity. "La Primera" performs on the "Monday Night Raw" brand and has become one of WWE's fasting-rising stars. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 14, 2025, where it first appeared.
