ForbesToday’s ‘Wordle’ #1473 Hints, Clues And Answer For Tuesday, July 1stBy Erik KainIt’s Wordle Wednesday which means we have an extra riddle to solve before we knock out today’s Wordle. We do this every Wednesday and I’m also excited to see how many of you get the answer right (or close, or sometimes point out a flaw in the riddles I come up with). Here’s today’s:

A knight awakens, shackled in a stone cell. Water trickles in through the cracks, slowly rising. Across the room sits a sturdy table. Upon it rest three boxes: one red, one blue, and one gold.

One and only one of these boxes contains the key to the cell.

• One box’s label tells the truth.
• One box’s label is a lie.
• One box’s label may be true or false.

The knight may open only one box.

These are the labels:

• Red box: The key is not in this box.
• Blue box: The key is in the red box.
• Gold box: The key is not in the blue box.

Which box contains the key — and the knight’s only chance at escaping his cruel prison alive?

Let me know and I’ll post the answer in tomorrow’s guide. Now let’s solve this Wordle!

Wordle Analysis

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

The BEACH sounds nice and it wasn’t bad as an opening Wordle guess. With 96 remaining words and one yellow ‘C’ I guessed CLOUT for my second guess. This slashed the number of words down to just 4 and at this point I very nearly guessed INCUR but chose FICUS instead. This was a mistake. The answer was INCUR!

Competitive Wordle Score

I get 0 points for guessing in four and -1 for losing to the Bot. The Bot gets 1 point for guessing in three and 1 for beating me. I’m not off to a great start in July!

Erik: -1 points

Wordle Bot: 2 points

Today’s Wordle Etymology

The word "incur" comes from the Latin incurrere, meaning "to run into." It’s formed from in- ("into") currere ("to run"). In English, it came to mean "to bring upon oneself" (especially something undesirable) by the late 14th century.
