Today’s Wordle Answer (October 17th #850)
The October 17th Wordle word is ADULT.
For our starting Wordle word today we used POUND. This provided a great start with a correctly placed vowel and one incorrectly placed ‘D’. For our second attempt we shuffled the letters a bit and went with STUDY. This provided almost everything we needed with another incorrect spot for ‘D’ and a brand new letter.
There really weren’t a lot of options to move forward with which helped out immensely and we scored our Wordle win-in-three with the correct answer ADULT.

Summary: Wordle is a web-based word-guessing game developed by Josh Wardle that took the world by storm in 2021. Players are given a five-letter word to guess and have six attempts to get the word correct. When they get a letter correct, it will mark itself as green if it’s in the correct position and yellow if it is the correct letter in the wrong position. A yellow letter also means that letter could appear more than once. Wordle was purchased by The New York Times Company in 2022 and added to their website and app, keeping the core game free to play as promised – with additional words and other bonuses available through subscription, and is available via browser, iOS, and Android.
