ForbesToday’s ‘Wordle’ #1492 Hints And Answer For Sunday, July 20thBy Erik KainStuck on today’s Wordle puzzle? Don’t worry—you’re in the right place.

How To Solve Today’s Wordle

July is moving forward, and we had some welcome rain over the weekend. Hopefully, more is on the way, because the land here is dry and the forest is like a powder keg ready to blow. Compared to much of the country, we’re not at risk of floods, but the dryness is concerning. Aside from that, it’s a beautiful time of year. Summer vacation is nearly over, with less than two weeks to go. My oldest has already graduated high school, so no more back-to-school for them, but my youngest will begin 10th grade soon. Time really does fly.

But let’s get back on track—we have a Wordle to solve!

How To Play Wordle

Wordle is an online word game where players try to guess a secret five-letter word within six attempts. After each guess, the game gives color-coded feedback:

• Green: Correct letter in the correct position.
• Yellow: Correct letter in the wrong position.
• Gray: Letter not in the word at all.

Use these clues wisely to narrow down the possibilities. Everyone plays the same puzzle each day, and many players enjoy competing with friends, family, or even the Wordle Bot. If you're interested in Competitive Wordle, you can find the rules further down in this article.

Wordle Analysis

Each day, I use Wordle Bot to evaluate my guesses. You can analyze your own Wordles with Wordle Bot by visiting here.

CHOIR was my first guess today, which is unusual—I normally use it as a second guess. But this time, it only gave me one yellow letter and left 293 possible words. I switched strategies and used SLATE, Wordle Bot's favorite opener, for my second guess. It gave me a yellow ‘T’ and narrowed the field to just six possible solutions. My third guess was TYING, which left only one possibility: TIZZY. I was in a tizzy when I finally got it!

Competitive Wordle Score

Both the Bot and I scored 0 points today, solving it in four guesses. Our July scores remain very close:

Erik: 8 points

Wordle Bot: 9 points

Today’s Wordle Etymology

The word "tizzy" is a slang term that first appeared in American English in the 1930s. Its exact origin is unclear, but it may have been influenced by similar-sounding words such as "dizzy" or "fizzy." It’s often used to describe a state of agitation or excitement, typically phrased as being “in a tizzy.”
