What was the word of the day on live at five

Wordle can be hard. Like, really, really, hard. It’s for that reason alone that no one can possibly blame you for seeking answers online. If a word game in 2022 uses words that were predominantly used in 1842, someone involved in the creation of the game enjoys seeing people suffer.

Wordle can also be fun. Like, really, really, fun. It can be just as exciting to participate in the social element as playing the game itself. Wordle challenges players with a unique daily word and gives them only six chances to guess it with the clues provided. If you get it wrong, you’re forced to live with the shame and angst of a thousand suns. If you get it right, it’s just an ordinary Wordle kind of day.

Finding the Wordle of the Day

So, to avoid said shame and angst, we here at Gamer Journalist would like to extend an olive branch to the average Wordle connoisseur. Instead of only giving the answers, we’ll start by offering hints. If, after considering the hints, you cannot seem to figure out what the word is, then you can scroll down to find the answers. And, as I mentioned before, there is no shame in skipping ahead to the answers.

If you bookmark this page, you’ll be able to incorporate it into your morning routine. But, be warned — if you decide to continue scrolling, you surrender the right to complain about spoilers. Also, don’t be the kind of person who brags about getting the answer right when all you did was read this page. I have a five-letter word for people like that: BRUSK. It’s up to you to decide if you see this guide as a Wordle cheat code.

It’s that time again! As is usual, we won’t immediately give today’s word away, but rather, I’ll offer hints to help you reach the answer on your own. If you still can’t get it after the hints — again, no shame, this game can be difficult — then at that point, we’ll give away the correct answer.

So, here are the clues for APRIL 14, 2023:

• Number of vowels: TWO
• First and last letters: T & F
• Five different letters: YES

*to be clear, when I say vowel, I am referring to A, E, I, O, and U. 

If you’re still confused about today’s word of the day, let’s proceed to the answer:

Today’s Wordle Answer

The Wordle for today, APRIL 14, is THIEF. 

Did you get the correct answer? If not, better luck tomorrow!

How Does Wordle Work?

Wordle at its heart is a puzzle game, think Sudoku or crossword puzzles but for the digital age. Currently, you can play Wordle from the official New York Times website. It’s free to play as well. While there’s no official mobile app (don’t get fooled by clones), you can still play from your mobile. The goal of Wordle is to guess a five-letter word in a limited number of chances.

How Do You Play Wordle?

The objective is to guess the hidden WORDLE in six attempts or less. Each guess must be a five-letter word, and the color of the tiles will show you how close you are to the answer. Green letters mean the letter is in the Wordle at the exact location. Yellow letters mean the letter is in the Wordle in a different location.

What Is the Optimal Strategy for Wordle?

It’s better to go into the game with a strategy than blindly guessing. While any letter can appear in the game, some letters have better statistical odds than others. The following nine letters appear more often than others: A, I, N, L, 0, E, I, S, R, T. In fact, with the letter E, you can almost cut the number of guesses in half. There’s a total of 1,259 words that don’t have E and 1,056 words with an E.

It may be tempting to try multiple vowels, but you have much better odds if you guess words that have only one vowel. From there you can help narrow things down. But don’t be afraid to break out the dictionary or use our Wordle helper if you get truly stumped.

After solving a puzzle, a box will pop up with your results. You can tap on the green share button to copy your results to the clipboard and share them. If you accidentally closed the popup, you can tap on the statistics button at the top of the page. After tapping the share button, you can press CTRL+V to share your results!

When Does Wordle Reset?

A new Wordle is available every day at midnight in your local time.

Прошедшее длительное время употребляется для описания:

• действия, которое происходило в определенное время в прошлом (при этом не указывается, когда действие началось и когда закончилось, акцент делается на том, что действие занимало какое-то время в прошлом). I was reading your book the whole evening . Я читал твою книгу целый вечер.
• действия, которое происходило в прошлом и было прервано другим действием. The Past Continuous употребляется для описания действия, которое занимало какое-то время, а The Past Simple — для описания действия, которое его прервало (краткое действие). He was playing football when his mother called him. Он играл в футбол, когда его позвала мама.
• двух и более действий в прошлом, которые происходили одновременно и занимали какое-то время (действие в прогрессе). She was reading while her sister was playing in the garden. Она читала, в то время как ее сестра играла в саду.

Тест на понимание содержания текста:
Mark Twain, who lived from 1835 to 1910, is one of America’s most famous authors. He wrote many books, including The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Mark Twain’s own life was interesting enough to be a book.
Twain was born in the state of Missouri, near the Mississippi River. He came from a poor family. His father died when he was twelve, so he had to leave school. While he was still a boy he worked as a river boat pilot. He steered boats up and down the long Mississippi River. The Civil War, which started in 1861, made travelling on the Mississippi impossible. Twain then went west to Nevada. There he worked on a newspaper. In 1864 he went to California in search of gold. Twain did not have much luck as a gold miner. He left California to travel in Europe. Twain wrote a book about his trips around Europe.
But the most important influence on Twain and his books was the Mississippi River. When Twain finally settled down, he lived in a house with a porch that looked like the deck of a riverboat. Huckleberry Finn, Twain’s greatest book, is about the adventures of a boy on the Mississippi River. Another of Twain’s books is called Life on the Mississippi.

36. In the United States Julia Howe suggested the idea of Mother’s Day in 1872. Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia is credited with bringing about the official observance of Mother’s Day. But when she died in 1948, at the age of 84, Jarvis had become a woman of great ironies. Never a mother herself, her maternal fortune dissipated by her efforts to stop the commercialization of the holiday she had founded. Jarvis told a reporter shortly before her death that she was sorry she had ever started Mother’s Day. She spoke these words in a nursing home where every Mother’s Day her room had been filled with cards from all over the world.

Тест на понимание содержания текста:
THE EARL OF ST. VINCENT dates back to the 12th century, when it was built as a boarding house for the masons who constructed the church. It was named after a former Admiral who sailed with Lord Nelson. Lovingly restored by the present owners, it is a most extraordinary pub, filled with antiques and hidden away in the old part of the tiny, picturesque village of Engloshayle, in beautiful North Cornwall, England. North Cornwall is one of the last, unspoilt places in the British Isles to offer the visitor coastal scenery as magnificent and beautiful as anywhere in the world, together with the facilities and hospitality to ensure that one returns time and time again. The Earl of St. Vincent is to be found off the A389 Wadebridge to Bodmin Road. Close by there are the picturesque harbours of Padstow and Port Isaac, some superb golfing and a great many historic monuments and ancient sites.

Subject: My journey to the Altai Mountains

Dear Alex,

Thanks for your recent letter. I’m happy to get to know that you are OK.

Last summer we went to the Altai Mountains, which are in Siberia. We had heard much about the Altai Mountains, and we wanted to see their beauty with our own eyes. We went there by our car. We needed two days for the journey. We put up a tent and lived there for five days enjoying the wonderful nature, gathering mushrooms and berries, and swimming in the local lake. That was the time of our lives!

Sorry, I have to finish my letter because I my mother wants me to help her about the house. Keep in touch.

Best wishes,
Sasha

Тема: Мое путешествие на Алтайские горы

Dear Alex,
Дорогой Алекс!

Спасибо за твое прошлое письмо. Я счастлив знать, что у тебя все в порядке.

Пошлым летом мы ездили на Алтайские горы, которые находятся в Сибири. Мы много слышали об Алтайских горах, и мы захотели увидеть их красоту собственными глазами. Мы поехали туда на собственной машине. На поездку ушло два дня. Мы разбили палатку и жили там пять дней, наслаждаясь удивительной природой, собирая грибы и ягоды и плавая в местном озере. Это было потрясающее время!

Прости, но я должен заканчивать письмо, потому что мама хочет, чтобы я помог ей по дому. Оставайся на связи!

С наилучшими пожеланиями,
Саша
