Wordle Hints & Tips For Monday, August 22

This word can be used as either a noun or a verb. As a noun, this word refers to the quality of being especially worthy, of being so good as to deserve praise or a reward. A student’s straight As report card would have this, as would a particularly successful composer. This word can also be used as a replacement for “advantages” or “pros” (versus “cons”) of an object. All in all, it very specifically refers to positive aspects that deserve extra recognition.

In its verb form, this word refers to something being deserving of something - extra attention, punishment, or reward. It’s used similarly to the word “warrant” - as in, “this situationwarrantsextra investigation.” You could easily replace “warrant” with today’s Wordle word, as it refers to a situation needing extra time and attention!

For our final hints, the August 22 Wordle starts with an “M” and ends with a “T“. This time, you won’t have to contend with any repeated letters; however, this word does have two vowels. Guess words that contain a varied assortment of vowels early on to help you parse out the right ones! Some solid vowel-heavy examples are “ADIEU” or “BOULE.”

What Is The Wordle Answer Today? (Monday, August 22)

The answer to today’s puzzle in Wordle is “MERIT“.

Some might say there isn’t a lot of merit to winning a game using hints; however, hints only provide additional context for players to win the game. In the end, it was your own brain power that allowed you to pull the correct spelling and final answer using the puzzle pieces you were given. Merit is also often subjective, which can make it difficult to create a standard level of “worthiness”. After all, one person might deem something of outstanding merit, while another might view it as completely awful. All in all though, your ability to solve this Wordle puzzle - and the many previous ones - certainly merits a celebration!
