Today's Wordle etymology The history of the word 'BRACE' goes all the way back to the Greeks, where we find the word 'BRAKHION', which means an arm. This word has probably been taken by Latin since we have the Latin term 'BRACCHIA' for an arm as well as a forearm.
Later, we find the word 'BRACE' in Old French, from where the English version has come. It's only around the 1500s that the sense of something which holds two or more things together is tied to the word 'BRACE'. Around the same time, we find the term being employed as a synonym for prop.

Meanwhile Dordle , Quorodly , Octordly and Sedecordle all keep to the standard Wordle, while increasing the number of words you have to find.
The challenge comes in how your guesses count for all of the words, so you need to decide whether you’re going to focus on a specific word or try to solve multiple words at the same time. Thankfully, the number of guesses you’re given increases alongside the amount of words you’re expected to solve. If you want a break from spelling though, try GeoGuessr .
Here you’ll be given a picture of somewhere, anywhere, in the world and have to place a marker on where you think that location is. There’s even an Old School RuneScape version. Hope you enjoyed playing Wordle today!.
