There have also been some really enjoyable copycat games that have spawned due to Wordle. The once-a-day Heardle, and its many renditions, is a 'Name That Tune'-type game that challenges players to listen to the first second of a popular song and guess what it is. The more players get wrong the more of the song they get to hear. Framed is another popular example where players are shown a single frame from a movie and tasked to guess that movie. With all these quick copycat games, a short morning routine could extend into the early afternoon quite easily.

Today's Wordle Hints (September 13th #451)

For those players that prefer to Wordle on their own, but need a little help, we've got a few hints to help out.

• Hint 1: Today's answer does contain a single repeated letter.
• Hint 2: This Wordle answer is often used as a code word representing the letter A.
• Hint 3: "Bro Dudes" use this word to pretend they have some sort of dominance over others.
• Hint 4: The first letter of the Greek alphabet.

Today's Wordle Answer (September 13th #451)

The answer to today's Wordle is ALPHA.

For our starting Wordle word today we used IRATE which only provided a single misplaced 'A' and a few incorrect letters. As usual, our beginning word didn't offer too much to go on but we followed that up with BALMS to really cover a spectrum of letters. This provided us with another incorrect spot for the 'A' and a new misplaced letter, 'L'. Taking whatever we could get, we went with ALOOF for our third guess, this solidified the position of both the 'A' and the 'L'.

There was really only one possible solution for what was presented to us with the previous hints, but it certainly didn't pop up right away. However, after some critical thinking on what would fit 'AL' without an 'O', we finally solved it and got our Wordle win-in-four with ALPHA. Now to use our newly acquired word, dominate other men, and claim to be in charge of all the things.
