Today's Wordle answer #402: Tuesday, July 26

pcgamer.com:

You'll find all the help you need with today's Wordle right here. Whether you're after a quick clue or simply the answer to the July 26 (402) puzzle, it's all waiting for you below.

I'm on the prowl today, determined to catch all the Wordle inspiration hidden in my normal routine and then store it safely away for future use. It was going very well until my mind got caught on the idea of WORDS being a potential valid answer (and not all that bad a guess either way), which almost feels like a «The call is coming from inside the house» kind of plot twist. At least Wordle itself is too long to use (and to be fair not a real word either)—that kind of recursive answer would've really sent my head spinning. 

Today's answer is one word with at least two meanings attached to it. Sometimes this word is used to describe an easy job, something that'll be cleared with little effort. It can also refer to clothing secured by any sort of belt too. One of today's consonants is used twice.     

Not sure? No problem. The answer to the July 26 (402) Wordle isCINCH.

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.
