wordleGTBeat the Monday Blues with Wordle #1458 – Hints & Answer Inside

 

Monday mornings are a five-letter term: bleak. I woke up, staring at my ceiling, weighing whether the thrill of playing hooky was worth the guilt of unread emails. No will, no drive—just the familiar drag of routine. But then came Wordle.

First guess: GRIND. Oh, so fitting. Second one: SHINE. There was a glimmer of hope. Third: MOTIV. So close. Fourth: MOTIVE. Got it. And just like that, something clicked in. It's odd how a bit of letter puzzling revitalizes the brain. I got up and brewed some coffee. Sometimes, all it takes to get through the day is a quick win before 9 in the morning—Wordle: my pixel shrink.

 

DID YOU KNOW? 

 

Wordle rarely ends the answers in the letter ‘S.’ Despite ‘S’ being the most common last letter in general five-letter English words (appearing 31% of the time), it’s the 15th most popular last letter in Wordle words, appearing less than 2% of the time. This anti-plural bias is a surprising result of the game’s curated word list.
