Is today’s Wordle #1790 difficult?
Difficulty Rating: 4/5
Today’s puzzle, Puzzle #1790, is a vowel efficiency exercise. Yesterday’s word was a trap of repeated consonants, but today’s has a relatively frequent vowel-consonant-vowel ending. The risk now isn’t the absence of the letters but the large number of identical words that meet this pattern (the infamous rhyme trap). Don’t want a “Hard Mode” disaster? Then for your second and third guesses, eliminate as many leading consonants as you can.

Hints and Answers for Today’s Wordle May 13
Hint 1: Today’s Wordle starts with the letter ‘W’, which appears twice in the first and fourth place.

Etymology
Its origins extend back into Middle English (waveren), meaning “to move to and fro”. It is derived from the Old Norse term “vafra”, meaning “to hover”. It’s a great illustration of how English describes mental processes with physical movement, such as when someone’s hesitation makes their opinion shift back and forth.
