Today’s Wordle is #1030, and the hint is “You can advertise at great heights with this.” The clue is that today’s Wordle has far more consonants than vowels. The answer to today’s Wordle is “blimp.”
In analyzing the Wordle, the player chose “bread” as the opening word, which left them with 50 words and one green box. They then tried the word “boink” and got a second green box with the letter “I.” After considering a few options, including “blitz,” they decided to guess “blimp,” which turned out to be the correct answer. The player scored 2 points by guessing in three and beating the Bot, which guessed in four.
The competitive Wordle scoring system awards points based on the number of guesses it takes to solve the Wordle. Guessing in one is worth 3 points, in two is worth 2 points, in three is worth 1 point, in four is worth 0 points, in five is -1 points, in six is -2 points, and missing the Wordle is -3 points. Players also receive 1 point for beating their opponent, 0 points for tying, and -1 point for losing to their opponent.
The etymology of the word “blimp” is uncertain, with one theory suggesting it originated during World War I when a sound produced by a hydrogen-filled airship was described as a “blimp.” Another theory suggests it may have stemmed from military shorthand used to distinguish between different types of airships. Despite the various stories and potential origins, “blimp” continues to be associated with non-rigid airships and has a whimsical connotation.
