Of course, it makes no difference to me. Wordle waits for no man (or woman). We have one to solve this fine summer day, so let's solve it! How To Solve Today's Wordle The Hint: Makes you taller. The Clue: This Wordle has a double letter. Okay, spoilers below! The answer is coming! FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder . . . Today's Wordle Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here. CRATE earned me a 'Bravo!' from Wordle Bot since it's one of the Bot's very favorite opening guesses. It was pretty good, too, leaving me with 108 remaining solutions. SPOIL slashed that number down to just one: STILT for the win! Huzzah! Today's Wordle Bot I needed a win after my recent losing streak. I get 1 point for guessing in three and another for beating the Bot. The Bot loses 1 for losing to me and gets 0 for guessing in four. This effectively reverses yesterday's score, bringing our July total back to: Erik: -1 points Wordle Bot: 3 points The word stilt comes from Middle English stilt(e), meaning a crutch or support. Its exact origin is uncertain, but it may be related to Low German stelte or Old Norse stilt, meaning post or support. It has been used since the 14th century to refer to poles or supports used for walking above the ground or water. Let me know how you fared with your Wordle today on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook.

Today's NYT Mini Crossword Clues And Answers For Monday, July 7th

Looking for help with today's NYT Mini Crossword puzzle? Here are some hints and answers for the ... More puzzle. In case you missed Sunday's NYT Mini Crossword puzzle, you can find the answers here: And we're back . . . to another Monday. Another work week. Another sunny summer day. We're also careening past the halfway point for 2025, which is pretty crazy. It'll be Christmas before you know it. We also have a NYT Mini Crossword to solve. I have some hints and the answers to today's Mini below. The NYT Mini is a smaller, quicker, more digestible, bite-sized version of the larger and more challenging NYT Crossword, and unlike its larger sibling, it's free-to-play without a subscription to The New York Times. You can play it on the web or the app, though you'll need the app to tackle the archive. Spoilers ahead! Before we get to the answers, here's the first letter for each word in today's Mini. Across A. Coffee, informally … or a big coffee-producing island – J 5A. Figure skating jump – A 6A. Wide-ranging music playlists – M 8A. On deck – N 9A. Down Under welcome – G Down 1D. Print issue? – J 2D. Cutting down – A 3D. Annoyed – V 4D. Virtual assistant whose name starts with the same letter as its parent company – A 7D. Wilbur's home in "Charlotte's Web" – S Okay, onto the answers! Across 1A. Coffee, informally … or a big coffee-producing island – JAVA 5A. Figure skating jump – AXEL 6A. Wide-ranging music playlists – MIXES 8A. On deck – NEXT 9A. Down Under welcome – GDAY Down 1D. Print issue? – JAM 2D. Cutting down – AXING 3D. Annoyed – VEXED 4D. Virtual assistant whose name starts with the same letter as its parent company – ALEXA 7D. Wilbur's home in "Charlotte's Web" – STY Today's Mini This one ended up going quite well. 1-Across wasn't obvious without the 'also an island' bit but that made JAVA pretty clear and then JAM for 2-Down came naturally enough. I couldn't remember AXEL but I knew it was something like that and initially plugged in AXIS, which worked for 2-Down but not 3-Down (VEXED) but a quick adjustment and I was back up and running. This one took me 58 seconds. How did you do? Let me know on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook. If you also play Wordle, I write guides about that as well. You can find those and all my TV guides, reviews and much more here on my blog. Thanks for reading!
