I do love a good start to the week. A warm drink, a cheeky snack to go with it, and a Wordle puzzle that unfolds with little effort—what could be better than that? Hopefully today's brain-teaser will go just as smoothly for you, but don't worry if it doesn't—you're already in the right place.

Let's make sure your week gets off to a good start. The answer to the July 18 (394) Wordle isFLOCK.

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.
