Spoiler alert!

If you’re still guessing today’s Wordle, stop here to avoid spoilers! For those looking for hints—or the answer—read on.

Today’s Wordle flexes some muscle. Here are your clues:

Clue #1: It has one vowel.

The single vowel is in the middle of the word.

Clue #2: It’s a noun.

This word is often used to describe physical strength or muscular power.

Clue #3: Think strength versus smarts.

It’s a term that pairs well with “brains” to highlight physical might over intellect.

And the answer to today’s Wordle is:

BRAWN.

Did you muscle through this one, or was the “W” a heavyweight challenge?
