Wordle #1370: Today’s Answer and Hints Revealed

LOS ANGELES, CA — The latest Wordle puzzle, released March 20, has players guessing the daily five-letter word again. Today’s answer is related to cooking and can be particularly useful during meal preparation.

The game, which has gained immense popularity since its public release in October 2021, provides players with six attempts to guess the correct word. After forming a word, players receive feedback through colored tiles indicating letter placement. Gray tiles signify the letter is not in the word, yellow shows it is in the word but in the wrong position, while green indicates correctness in both letter and placement.

For players looking for today’s hints, here are five key clues: first, the answer begins with the letter ‘B’; second, it contains two vowels; third, it is a verb; fourth, it rhymes with ‘paste’; and lastly, there are no repeated letters.

After taking these hints into account, the solution to today’s Wordle is ‘baste.’ Defined by Merriam-Webster, ‘baste’ means to moisten foods, particularly meats, during cooking to prevent drying out while adding flavor.

In a surprising twist, Wordle was created by software engineer Josh Wardle as a simple game for him and his partner. Its public debut led to a viral craze, culminating in its acquisition by The New York Times in January 2022.

As millions engage with the game each day, including many celebrities, the community continues to share tips and strategies to master the daily challenge. One popular suggestion is to choose starter words carefully, ensuring a mix of vowels and consonants to maximize guesses.

If you didn’t solve today’s puzzle correctly, don’t be discouraged. Wordle resets at midnight local time, offering new opportunities to guess the additional puzzles.
