Stop guessing. Start cooking. Well, sort of.
Today’s Wordle is June 15, #1822. It isn’t brutal, but it won’t hand you the win either. The letters are common. You’ve seen them all before.
Before the spoiler train leaves the station, check if you want the nudge or just the result. Look away now. Or don’t. We’re not your mom.
“Today’s answer has no repeated letters.”
Clean slate. Five distinct spots to fill.
“Two vowels hide inside.”
Not an explosion of sounds. Just a couple.
“It starts with B.”
Hard consonant. Gets things moving.
“It ends with L.”
Soft landing.
“Meaning: cooking food with intense, high heat.”
Are you hungry yet? Probably not, unless you like meat rare or burnt. This is the direct method. Over the flame. Direct exposure.
The answer is BROIL.
Simple. Efficient.
Yesterday’s answer was SEPIA (No. 1821). If you missed the brownish tint of yesterday’s puzzle, here’s where we’ve landed recently. A quick audit of your streak history:
- June 10 (No. 1817): ALIGN
- June 11 (No. 1818): TESTY
- June 12 (No. 1819): BREAK
- June 13 (No. 1820): QUELL
Don’t throw darts in the dark for your opener. Use the frequency cheat sheet. E, A, and R are your best friends. Z, J, Q are the enemies of early-game efficiency. Save the rare ones for later. Or never use them at all if you play optimally.
Good starters?
- ADIEU (Classic vowel hunt)
- TRAIN (Heavy hitter)
- CLOSE
- STARE
- NOISE
Pick one. Submit. See if the board turns yellow or gray. If gray, move on. If yellow, pay attention. If green… well.
Broiling requires focus. Too long and you scorch the earth. Too short and it’s raw. The same goes for Wordle, mostly.
Unless you forget where you hid your glasses.
