Dordle Puzzle #1211 Answers
Today’s Dordle Revealed
Word 1: SHINY
Definition: Something that is shiny reflects light, resulting in a bright, lustrous appearance. We often describe new or well-polished objects, such as cars, shoes, or apples, as shiny.
Trivia: The word "shiny" comes from the Old English 'scinan', meaning 'to shine'. In pop culture, "shiny" is also used to describe something wonderful or excellent, popularized by the television series 'Firefly'.
Word 2: WHIFF
Definition: A whiff is a brief, gentle gust usually referring to an odor or scent that is suddenly smelled. The phrase "catching a whiff" means to detect a smell, often unexpectedly.
Trivia: Originating in the 16th century, 'whiff' was first used to describe a sharp puff of wind or smoke. Its usage has since expanded to include any transient hint of something elusive or fleeting, such as an idea.
What is Dordle?
Dordle by Zaratustra is a daily word puzzle game that challenges players to guess two five-letter words simultaneously. It’s a twist on the popular game Wordle, doubling the difficulty. You have seven attempts to guess both words. After each guess, the game provides color-coded feedback for each word, indicating which letters are correct and in the correct position and which are correct but in the wrong position. This requires a combination of vocabulary, strategy, and deduction. The goal is to solve both words in as few tries as possible.
How to Play Dordle
- Start with a guess: Enter any five-letter word. It’s often a good strategy to start with a word that uses many common vowels (like “ADIEU” or “AUDIO”) to get a broad idea of which letters are in the words.
- Understand the feedback: After you submit your guess, the letters will be color-coded for each of the two words:
- Green: The letter is correct and in the correct position.
- Yellow: The letter is in the word but in the wrong position.
- Gray: The letter is not in the word at all.
- Guess again: Based on the feedback, make another guess. Try to incorporate the letters you know are in the words, and avoid the letters you know are not. Remember, you’re trying to solve two words at the same time.
- Continue guessing: You have a total of seven tries to guess both words. If you haven’t solved them by then, the game is over.
