CIDER

Today’s Wordle definition

And here’s what it means, according to our good friend ChatGPT: “Cider is a type of alcoholic beverage made from fermented apple juice. The process of making cider involves crushing apples to extract their juice, which is then fermented using yeast. The fermentation process can take several weeks or months, depending on the desired flavor and alcohol content. Cider can range from sweet to dry, and can have an alcohol content of anywhere from 2% to 8% or more. In some regions, other fruits such as pears are also used to make cider, resulting in variations such as pear cider or “perry”. Cider is a popular drink in many countries, particularly in the United Kingdom and Ireland, where it is often consumed during fall and winter months”

Tips for tomorrow’s Wordle

It might seem like Wordle is all luck, but there are a few good practices you can use to help get as many clues as possible in just a few guesses, making it that much more likely you can figure out the final word before you run out of tries. The most important guess is your first, and the trick is to load up on vowels (A, E, I, O, and U).

Some popular starting words people have had good luck with are “adieu,” “media,” “arise,” and “radio.” Just make sure not to pick a word with double letters, or you’re wasting precious guesses. The aim here is to try to figure out which vowels the mystery word contains, then layer in common consonants and close in from there.
