Today's Wordle answer #393: Sunday, July 17

pcgamer.com:

Allow me to give you all the hints and tips you need for today's Wordle. And if you'd like to see the answer to the July 17 (393) puzzle, just keep scrolling.

Bar one nasty blip, this has been a great Wordle week for me. The answers have been interesting without being weird, the topics covered have been broad, and it's just been a lot of satisfying letter-based fun. Hopefully, next week will be a similar experience, although part of Wordle's charm is that you never can tell when it's about to sneak in something tricky.

We're dealing with an informal term today, used to describe anything that's silly or oddball in an amusing or exciting way. Friends, movies, and even pets can all be this word at times. There's just one vowel to find today, surrounded by some relatively uncommon consonants. 

Let's turn all those yellows and greys into greens. The answer to the July 17 (393) Wordle isWACKY.

Every day Wordle presents you with six rows of five boxes, and it's up to you to work out which secret five-letter word is hiding inside them.

You'll want to start with a strong word(opens in new tab) like ALERT—something containing multiple vowels, common consonants, and no repeat letters. Hit Enter and the boxes will show you which letters you've got right or wrong. If a box turns ⬛️, it means that letter isn't in the secret word at all.
