Wordle Player Solves Wednesday Riddle with Clever Twist

New York, NY — The popular word game Wordle added a twist this week when the Wednesday riddle was posted late. A senior contributor reported a mix-up with the riddle’s timing but provided the solution shortly after. The late riddle asked, “I’m the beginning of the end and the end of time and space. I am in everything and surround every place. What am I?”

The answer to the riddle is the letter “E.” This clever riddle plays on words, referencing the first letter of ‘End’ and the last letters of ‘timE’ and ‘spacE.’ The letter can be found in ‘evErything’ and surrounds ‘Every placE.’

Wordle has captivated players daily since its launch, with each challenge featuring a five-letter word that players must guess in six tries or fewer. After each guess, the game provides feedback on the guessed letters.

For those seeking help or competition, players can use Wordle Bot to analyze their guessing strategies, or even play against friends and family. This week, the contributor started guessing with ‘TRAIL’ but quickly adjusted strategy after noticing limited remaining options.

A second guess of ‘SINGE’ helped narrow down the choices significantly. Ultimately, the contributor landed on the solution ‘KNIFE’, marking a tie between them and Wordle Bot with both achieving the answer in four guesses for the day.

The word ‘knife’ has interesting origins, tracing back to Old English ‘cnīf.’ This historical connection to language illustrates how English has evolved over time. The silent ‘k’ in ‘knife’ once had a pronounced sound, reflecting the word’s ancient roots.
