Today's Wordle Solution Tip, Hints, and Reveal for December 22nd, Sunday
Looking for this week's Wordle hints, clues, and answer? You've got the right place!
'Tis the season for festivities and festivities means the old man's begging bowl gets filled to the brim. But tossing a penny into the bowl might not get you the affectionate thanks you're hoping for. A penny, after all, doesn't carry as much weight as it used to. The first documented instances of "It's Coming Christmas" were published way back in 1885, although it's a safe bet the carol had been around for quite some time prior. No historian has managed to pin down the composer or lyricist responsible, leaving us to regard it as a piece of folklore.
Consider this-a penny in 1885 would only be worth 33 cents today, so don't expect miracles from even a copper! If we factor in British currency, a penny in 1885 would be worth an impressive £1.61 in sterling today.
Wordle time! Let's get this party started.

Superguess Failure
SUPER didn't prove to be much of a superguess, but I had been mulling over the recent Superman trailer and figured it wasn't a bad opening gambit. With 237 solutions left, I was wrong. I went with RATIO to see if I could position the 'R' into green and cross off the other vowels. I quickly deduced the word had to contain an 'A'. DRAWN became the next clue and I finally had four green boxes to celebrate. BRAWN proved to be the winning word, which I should have chosen instead. It seems there's been a glut of 'B' words of late.
Competitive Wordle Score
I gained no points for guessing in four and lost one point for succumbing to the Bot's superiority. The best-laid plans of mice and men, and all that.
How to Play Competitive Wordle
- Guessing within the first go earns you 3 points, guessing within the second go earns you 2 points, third go gets you 1 point, fourth go earns you 0 points, guessing within the fifth go earns you -1 point, and missing the Wordle costs you -3 points.
- If you beat your opponent, you score 1 point. If you tie, you get no points. And if you lose, you lose one point. Add them all up for your score. Keep a daily running score or just play for a fresh score each day.
- Fridays are double XP days, meaning you get double points-positive or negative.
- Keep a running tally or play day-by-day. Enjoy!
Today's Wordle Etymology
The word "brawn" derived from the Old French "braon", meaning "fleshy part, muscle." This itself spawned from the Late Latin "bracchium", which translated to "arm" (from classical Latin "bracchium"). Over time, "brawn" evolved to denote physical strength or muscularity in the English language.
