Today’s Wordle hint and answer on Monday 1st July for 1108

July has begun and with it, of course, comes more puzzles for you to solve, so, to start us off, here’s the Wordle answer for today, 1st July 2024.

For the uninitiated, the aim of Wordle is to work out a daily five-letter word within six guesses. The fewer the guesses, the better – and if you fail to guess it at all, you’ll break your streak.

The latter is why working out today’s Wordle answer is such a priority, as players pride themselves on keeping their streak going. So why gamble on a risky final guess when you can learn a few clues and, failing that, get the definitive answer? This page can help with that.

Once you have today’s word, learn more about Wordle and how the New York Times became interested in games in this interview with Jonathan Knight, Head of Games for the NYTimes. In keeping with the word theme, we’ve also discussed why The NYTimes Mini Crossword is a reliable joy.

Clues for today’s Wordle answer

Instead of going straight to the answer, you might only need a few hints to get you over the line:

• Today’s word has one repeating letter.
• This word has three vowels in it.
• The word starts with ‘A’.
• This word is how we called expressions such as “Fear the Old Blood” from Bloodborne.

Still not sure? Read on for the answer.

Wordle answer for word 1108 on 1st July 2024

Even with the above clues, still not sure and want to keep that streak going?

The Wordle answer today is ADAGE.

To celebrate the beginning of July, my first guess of the month was ‘SEVEN’. I agree this is not the best word to begin but indulge me for a moment. It did give me the letter ‘E’, which initially made me really happy. My next goal was to find the letter ‘E’ exact position and find out more letters. I kept playing with ‘BORED’ as my second word. It gave me another letter, which was great, but I was still far from finding the exact position of the letters. After trying ‘MEDIA’ and ‘IDEAL’, I was still far from the final answer. Unfortunately, I wasted my last attempts with the wrong words.

Now you have the answer, do not spoil it for others! Remember, you can share your results spoiler-free in the form of a grid.

Of course, no one has to know you came to this page to work it out. Maybe put in two or three fake guesses first to throw them off the scent, perhaps?

Today’s Wordle etymology

Although we don’t always use adage when referring to proverbs, this term has kept this meaning throughout history. The English word ‘ADAGE’ has been probably borrowed from the French vocabulary of around the 16th century, where we find the word ‘ADAGE’. Back then, it was employed in the sense of a brief proverb.

The French word ‘ADAGE’ has come from the Latin term ‘ADAGIUM’, which indicates a proverb. A little bit later, around the 14th century, ‘ADAGE’ referred to passages from written works considered authoritative passages.

What to play after Wordle

With your daily Wordle completed, the question is – what shall you play now?

You can, of course, try out the other word-based games offered by the New York Times, like Spelling Bee, the Mini Crossword and Letter Boxed. You can also take a crack at Connections, the daily Sudokus and Tiles – a rather additive motif matching game.

There’s also a range of games which have put a twist on the Wordle formula. Squaredle challenges you to find a series of words by connecting letters in a four by four grid. Meanwhile Dordle, Quorodly, Octordly and Sedecordle all keep to the standard Wordle, while increasing the number of words you have to find. The challenge comes in how your guesses count for all of the words, so you need to decide whether you’re going to focus on a specific word or try to solve multiple words at the same time. Thankfully, the number of guesses you’re given increases alongside the amount of words you’re expected to solve.

If you want a break from spelling though, try GeoGuessr. Here you’ll be given a picture of somewhere, anywhere, in the world and have to place a marker on where you think that location is. There’s even an Old School RuneScape version.

Hope you enjoyed playing Wordle today!
