Wordle is one of the most popular online puzzles, with millions of people play it every day.
If you haven’t tried it yet, the premise is quite simple: you have to guess a five-letter word in six attempts or less. Try it for free here.
The game is color-coded, a letter that is in the right position will turn green, while a letter that is part of the word but in the wrong position will turn yellow. If you’ve guessed a letter that isn’t part of the word at all, it’ll turn gray.
The Origins of Wordle
Wordle was developed by software engineer Josh Wardle, who initially intended it to be played by him and his partner Palak Shah.
Wardle first began working on it in 2013, but returned to the project during the COVID-19 pandemic, where he perfected it and launched it to the public.
It was officially launched to the public in October 2021. In January 2022, Wordle was bought by The New York Times for an undisclosed seven-figure sum.
Wordle #390 Hints and Clues for Thursday, July 14
The game’s developer, Wardle, suggests you spend your first few attempts eliminating as much of the alphabet as possible.
Additionally, we recommend that your first try be a word with plenty of vowels, such as AUDIO. We would also suggest avoiding less common letters such as X, Q or Z, until you have a better grasp of what the word actually is.
We’ve got four hints for you below to help you solve Wordle #390. Each clue will bring you closer to the answer, so if you only need a bit of help, stop reading before the final hint.
Hint #1: Today’s Wordle contains two vowels.
Hint #2: The word starts with the letter “L”.
Hint #3: The word ends with the letter “R.”
Hint #4: It is a vital organ.
Wordle #390 Answer for Thursday, July 14
The answer to Wordle #390 is “LIVER.”
Merriam Webster describes a liver as “a large very vascular glandular organ of vertebrates that secretes bile and causes important changes in many of the substances contained in the blood (as by converting sugars into glycogen which it stores up until required and by forming urea)”.
And if you didn’t manage to work this one out, the good news is Wordle updates every day at 7 p.m. ET, at which point the next word will become available for people to solve.
