TheWordlefor August 9 brings a food-focused challenge, but one that hopefully rings familiar! While yesterday spared us the challenge of repeated letters, today’s puzzle does not give us the same kind of spelling. We’ll have to contend with repeated letters, but our hints should make guessing this word a bit easier than the last.
So, if you’re ready to get into it, keep reading for our tips and hints for the August 9 Wordle - all the way to the final answer reveal.
Wordle Hints & Tips For Tuesday, August 9
Today’s Wordle is an object, one that refers to food usually found in a small round cake. You’d find one of these in a hamburger or cheeseburger! It also happens to be the name of an extremely popular peppermint and chocolate-based candy.
For any fans of comics, this word is also the name of a character from Charles M. Schulz’s comic, Peanuts. The young girl usually sports a brown bob, freckles, and a green shirt. Funnily enough, her name is also peppermint-themed!
This word also contains a double consonant, which means there are only four unique letters in this spelling. Hopefully, you’ll be able to figure out which of these letters is repeated, but just in case you need a stronger tip - try guessing some of English’s most common consonants. Looking in the realm of “R”, “S”, or “T” will help narrow down your guesses!
As our final hint, the August 9 Wordle starts with a “P” and ends with a “Y“.
What Is The Wordle Answer Today? (Tuesday, August 9)
The answer to today’s puzzle in Wordle is “PATTY“.
Peppermint patties are fairly controversial as far as candies go. Not everyone is a fan of peppermint combined with chocolate - some go as far as claiming it tastes like toothpaste! - much less dark bitter chocolate. It’s an acquired taste, but one that’s been popular since 1940.
Did the double consonant end up tripping you up? Well, never fear! We’ll have additional tips and hints for tomorrow’s Wordle. That way, if you need help maintaining your score (or rebuilding it!), you’ll have all the info you need to nail the puzzle.
