After each guess, the game gives feedback to help you get closer to the answer: Green: The letter is in the word and in the correct spot. Yellow: The letter is in the word, but in the wrong spot. Gray: The letter is not in the word at all. Use these clues to narrow down your guesses. Every day brings a new word, and everyone around the world is trying to solve the same puzzle.

Today’s Wordle Etymology he word venue comes from Middle English venewe, meaning “a coming” or “arrival,” which itself derives from Old French venue, the feminine past participle of venir (“to come”). The root ultimately traces back to the Latin venīre, meaning “to come.” Originally in English (14th century), venue referred to the place where a legal action was brought — literally “the place to which one comes.” Over time, its meaning broadened to any location where an event or gathering takes place, such as a concert hall or sports arena.
