ForbesToday’s ‘Wordle’ #1459 Hints, Clues And Answer For Tuesday, June 17thBy Erik KainIt’s Wordle Wednesday again! This means we have an extra riddle to solve before solving today’s Wordle. Every Wednesday we do this, because life is more enjoyable with a bit of variety. Here’s today’s:

A viking and a dragon live together on an island in the middle of the sea. On the island there are five pools of magical water. Each pool is higher up the mountainside than the last, and the fifth and highest pool can only be reached by the dragon. Drinking from a pool poisons the drinker, but drinking from the next higher pool immediately cures the poison.

After many years on the island, the two grow tired of each other and agree on a challenge. Each will bring a chalice filled with water for the other to drink. They are allowed to refill their chalice from one of the pools afterwards. On the day of the challenge, both the viking and the dragon drink. The dragon then rushes to the highest pool and drinks deeply. Moments later, the beast drops dead. The viking lives alone on the island. How is this possible?

Wordle Analysis

Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.

STORE was a tough start, leaving me with 330 possible solutions. Introducing all new letters with CHAIN reduced that number down to just 5. But the five in question — or at least the ones I could think of — all ended in UNCH. LUNCH, PUNCH, HUNCH, MUNCH, etc. So I came up with a word that contained as many of those letters as possible with PLUMB, which brought it down to just 1: MUNCH for the win. It meant I couldn’t guess the answer on #3, but if I had simply guessed randomly, I might have missed this entirely.

We tied and both the Bot and I guessed in four, so zero points for us both, leaving our June total at:

Today’s Wordle Etymology

The word munch likely comes from Middle English mounchen, meaning "to chew," which is probably related to Middle Dutch monken or Old French monger ("to eat"). It's imitative in origin—echoing the sound or action of chewing. First recorded use in English dates back to around the late 14th century.
