Wordle answer for Friday 17 June 2022
Hello to everyone who skipped straight down to the answer section! It's OK, I'm not judging. I'm not going to drag out the wait any longer either. I promise. OK, here you go:
Today's World answer is: BLOWN.
Stop giggling at the back there because we are going to keep this definition strictly PG. In the broadest sense, "blow" means to move something using a current of air, and "blown" is one of the past tense forms of that. It's actually surprisingly hard to use it naturally in a simple sentence though, except for in some highly specific cases. Imagine we're watching an action movie. "Hey, did you see that guy get blown up?!" I ask you excitedly. Boom. Used it in a sentence.
Bit of a tricky one today, don't you think? That lesser-used past participle will have tripped a few people up, no doubt. Getting a headstart on tomorrow's Wordle sounds nigh-on impossible, but actually there are a couple of things you can do to prepare ahead of time: why not check out our guide to the best Wordle starting words, for example, or our list of past Worlde answers for the purposes of comparison?
