What is the Wordle answer for today, January 2?
The wordle answer for today, January 2, is CHOSE.
Chose is the past form of the word ‘choose.’ As mentioned above, it means selecting something or deciding on something. As a noun, chose is a legal term and means an object or article of personal property.
The etymology of choose can be traced back to Middle English words chosen and chesen, Old English ċēosan, Proto-West Germanic *keusan, Proto-Germanic *keusaną, and Proto-Indo-European *ǵéwseti and *ǵews. Conversely, the noun version comes from Middle French chose and from Latin causa.
Today’s word was seemingly a tricky one to guess for some players. There were a few incorrect guesses, and people almost ran out of all six attempts. However, once the vowels and their correct placements were recognized and the fact that the word doesn’t have a recurring letter, the word game effectively sorted itself out.
