Wordle #1680 Hints And Answer For Saturday, January 24: A Challenging Energy Bar Puzzle
As the weekend approaches, we're expecting some snowfall, but it's hard to believe with temperatures plummeting to -36 degrees in some areas. Take a break from braving the cold and challenge yourself with today's Wordle puzzle game.
The bonus custom Wordle for this week is 6 letters long and has a double letter. You can play this puzzle at [link] (Forbes).
To tackle today's Wordle, remember that your goal is to guess a hidden five-letter word in six tries or fewer. The game provides feedback after each guess:
- Green: The letter appears in the correct position.
- Yellow: The letter is present but not in the desired spot.
- Gray: The letter doesn't appear anywhere.
For this puzzle, your starting words are SPIRE (81 words left) and SLATE (the Wordle Bot's word). The hint is about an energy bar, which was chosen to avoid easy clues related to "cliff" puzzles that have been too popular in the past.
After analyzing your guesses, you've managed to eliminate 66 words, with BATON being one of them. CLUCK narrowed it down but left only a single word: CLIFF for the win!
In Competitive Wordle, you can guess in different rounds and earn points accordingly. The game features an XP system where Fridays are double XP days, affecting both wins and losses.
To solve today's puzzle, use your knowledge of energy bars to find the correct answer.
The Answer
After solving the puzzle, we discovered that today's word is CLIFF. This word comes from Old English "clif," meaning a steep slope or rock face, and has since evolved to specifically refer to the rocky precipice sense we use today.
Wordle Bot Analysis
As expected, I tied with the Wordle Bot in terms of scores, each securing 4 points in January totals:
- Erik Kain: 15 points
- Wordle Bot: 10 points
Competitive Wordle Score
For this week's competitive game, remember to follow these scoring rules:

- Guessing in 4 rounds results in 0 points.
- Guessing in 5 rounds leads to a -1 point penalty.
