So, what’s today’s Wordle answer for game #1,197?

Drumroll, please—it’s BRAIN!

Hello, Wordle fans! This one was a nice and easy challenge, but I managed to mess it up by narrowing it down to two possible answers on my second turn and then picking the wrong one.

I started off strong with ORATE, which contains all five of the most common letters in Wordle. Today, it turned both ‘R’ and ‘A’ green, leaving 35 possible answers, according to Wordle Ai.

Wordle Ai top starting words were even better. For instance, PLANT leaves 20 answers, while PLANE narrows it down to 19. If you chose TRAIN, only three solutions would remain.
