PLUMB
Today’s Wordle Definition
The word “plumb” can mean different things depending on the context, so let’s break it down:
- As a verb (related to measurement): To “plumb” means to measure or check the vertical alignment of something, like ensuring a wall is perfectly upright.
- As an adjective (related to depth or alignment): When something is described as “plumb,” it means it’s perfectly vertical. For example, a “plumb line” is a tool used by builders to make sure something is straight up and down.
- As an adverb (informal usage): In casual language, “plumb” can mean “completely” or “entirely.” For example, you might say, “I’m plumb tired” or “That’s plumb crazy!”
- As a noun (related to lead): Historically, “plumb” also refers to a lead weight used in a tool called a “plumb line,” which helps measure depth or check if something is vertical. This comes from the Latin word plumbum, which means lead.
- As a verb (informal): To “plumb” something can also mean to explore or investigate it deeply. For instance, “plumbing the depths of the ocean” means exploring it thoroughly.
Each of these meanings ties back to the idea of vertical alignment, depth, or completeness.
Tips for Tomorrow’s Wordle
It might seem like solving Wordle is all about luck, but there are strategies you can use to increase your chances of guessing the word before running out of tries. Your first guess is the most important, so focus on words with lots of vowels (like A, E, I, O, and U).
Here are some good starting words to try: “adieu,” “media,” “arise,” or “radio.” Avoid words with double letters to make sure you get the most information from each guess. Once you’ve figured out which vowels are in the word, you can start adding in common consonants like R, S, and T.
For your second word, try using common consonants and avoid any letters that were marked gray (meaning they’re not in the word). Some great follow-up words are “stern,” “irate,” or “atone.” The key is to narrow down the possibilities with each guess and use your previous attempts to eliminate letters.
