Wordle #475, October 7: Clues, answer for today's word of the day

Welcome back to the Wordle feed. Today’s Wordle is difficult, and many won’t be familiar with the word of the day. We have brought the hints and clues you need to guess the word. For the uninitiated, let’s first take a look at what Wordle is and how it became the ultimate word game in the world.

What is Wordle?

Wordle is an internet-based word puzzle designed by Welsh software designer Josh Wardle. He created the game during the early days of the pandemic for his wife. However, he made the game public in October 2021. The game’s biggest attraction is its simplicity. You can play Wordle on browsers. There are no ads in the game, nor does it require any permissions or sign-ins.
The game discourages addiction by allowing you to play once a day. After Wordle became a booming success, Wardle sold it to The New York Times for an undisclosed amount. Moreover, the game has been an inspiration to several other games like Heardle, Quordle and Nerdle, each catering to different players.

How to Play Wordle?

Log on to the Wordle page. You’ll get a grid of six slots, each having five blocks. Start by typing a five-letter word, which will appear in the first slot. If the letters turn yellow, they belong to the answer but placement in not correct. Use those letters and type other five-letter words until all letters in a slot turn green. However, you get only six attempts to win the game.
