Hints for Wordle 1718 (No True Spoilers Yet)
Work through these at your own pace and stop the moment something clicks.
Hint 1 – The Structure The word starts with a consonant and ends with a consonant. It contains two vowels and, here is the part that catches most players out today, it also contains repeated letters. The same letter shows up more than once, which means your tile feedback might be sending mixed signals if your guesses have not accounted for that possibility yet.
Hint 2 – The Feel of It Think soft textures, fresh out of the wash, neatly folded. This word belongs firmly in the world of home and fabric. It describes a material that has been around for thousands of years, made from the fibres of the flax plant, and long associated with quality, cleanliness, and comfort. You will find it on beds, on dining tables, and in the phrase “dirty laundry” even though ironically it is the clean version that gets all the praise.
Hint 3 – The Repeated Letter The letter that appears twice is N. It shows up in both the second and fifth positions. That combination, alongside the theme above, should be more than enough to land the answer on your next guess.
Wordle 1718 Answer
If the hints walked you right up to it, brilliant. If today’s puzzle still had you guessing, here is the answer.
LINEN
Two Ns bookending the middle of the word, and a perfectly everyday answer that feels obvious the moment you see it. That is classic Wordle at its best. Well played if you got there without scrolling this far.
