Monday’s Wordle Solution Revealed: ‘Goody’ Delights Players

New York, NY — The Wordle puzzle for Monday, February 10, has been solved, with the answer being ‘Goody.’ This charming word, which means something good or desirable, has captivated players with its dual use as both a noun and an interjection. Players had six attempts to guess the five-letter word, leveraging feedback from each guess through colored tiles indicating correct letters in the right place (green), correct letters in the wrong place (yellow), and incorrect letters (gray).

Erhan Aslan, an expert in applied linguistics at the University of Reading, advises starting with common letters and vowels. ‘Using letters like ‘e’ and ‘a,’ along with consonants such as ‘r’ and ‘t,’ can be beneficial,’ Aslan noted. He also cautioned against starting with less common letters like ‘q’ or ‘z.’ The word ‘Goody’ fits this strategy, starting with ‘G’ and containing the repeated vowel ‘o.’

Created by Josh Wardle, Wordle became a viral sensation in 2021 before being acquired by The New York Times in 2022. Its simplicity and shareable results have made it a staple in daily routines for many. ‘Goody’ not only serves as a delightful exclamation but also refers to small gifts, aligning with its historical roots from Middle English.

Players who solved Monday’s puzzle expressed triumph, while others shared their strategies for tackling future challenges. For those seeking more excitement, variations like ‘Quordle’ offer additional layers of complexity. Whether for fun or intellectual exercise, Wordle continues to engage its devoted community, proving that the love for word puzzles endures.
