ForbesToday’s ‘Wordle’ #1460 Hints, Clues And Answer For Wednesday, June 18th

It’s Thor’s Day, which means that I give you the answer to yesterday’s Wordle Wednesday riddle before we dive into our Wordle guide. Here was the riddle:

A viking and a dragon live together on an island in the middle of the sea. On the island there are five pools of magical water. Each pool is higher up the mountainside than the last, and the fifth and highest pool can only be reached by the dragon. Drinking from a pool poisons the drinker, but drinking from the next pool higher up immediately cures the poison.

After many years on the island, the two grow tired of one another and agree on a challenge. Each will bring a chalice filled with water for the other to drink. They are allowed to refill their chalice from one of the pools afterwards. On the day of the challenge, both the viking and the dragon drink. The dragon then rushes to the highest pool and drinks deeply. Moments later, the beast drops dead. The viking lives alone on the island. How is this possible?

The answer: The viking drank from the first pool before showing up to the challenge. He filled the chalice he was giving to the dragon with seawater. Once they both had downed their challices, the dragon rushed to the top pool and drank what ended up being a poisonous draft. The viking didn’t drink again — the dragon’s chalice healed his poison instead of killing him.

Wordle Analysis

Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.


CREAM was a good starting guess, leaving me with just 15 answers. I decided I’d try to move the yellow ‘R’ and guess all new letters for the rest instead of guessing the answer on the second guess. HORNY — I know, what can I say, it was the best word I could come up with — did the trick, leaving me with just one remaining solution: CURIO for the win!

Today’s Wordle Etymology

The word “curio” is a shortened form of “curiosity”, dating to the mid-19th century. It comes from the Latincūriōsitās, meaning curiousness or inquisitiveness. In English, “curio” came to mean a small, interesting, or unusual object—typically one collected for its rarity or charm.
