Today’s Wordle hint and answer on Sunday 2nd June for 1079

As we enter the last day of the weekend, a variety of activities vye for our attention as we look for a way to have fun. But, before visiting the family or going out with friends, don’t forget to check the Wordle answer for today, 2nd June 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:

• The word has no repeating letters in it.
• This word has two vowels in it.
• Today’s word starts with ‘B’.
• It’s the surname of a muscular blonde man who was the protagonist of a cartoon series in the late 90’s.

Still not sure? Read on for the answer.

Wordle answer for word 1079 on 2nd June 2024

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

The Wordle answer today is BRAVO.

Two words starting with ‘B’ in the same week seems like a way of life to test my lucky word. Unlike last time, I went with ‘BACON’ right off the bat, only getting the initial letter. Next, I tried ‘BROKE’, which gave me an ‘R’, leading me to my third guess ‘BRAVE’. This last one gave the letters I needed to reduce the number of options. Considering the letters I already had, I tried ‘BRAVO’, solving today’s puzzle.

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

In English language history, ‘BRAVO’ has an interesting but fairly bleak meaning. Around the late 15th century, this word was used to indicate a person who has been hired as a killer. This meaning, however, is probably less common when we think about the word ‘BRAVO’, which is usually uttered as an interjection to praise something or someone.

By tracing the etymology of the word, we get to the Medieval Latin word ‘BRAVUS’ from where ‘BRAVO’ might have originated.

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!
