Wordle Answer Today (May 22): A Bookish Clue That May Leave You Flipping Pages
Wordle Answer Today: Even seasoned Wordle fans can have their streaks rattled by an unexpectedly elusive word. And Thursday, May 22, proved no exception. If you found yourself stuck on guess five, heart racing and keyboard smoking, you're not alone. Today’s Wordle came wrapped in a literary twist — and if the hints didn’t quite do the trick, we’ve got you covered with everything from cryptic clues to the full reveal (no judgment here).
The Art Of Wordle: Know The Rules Before You Play
For the uninitiated, Wordle is the famously addictive five-letter word game that gives players just six chances to crack the code. Green tiles mean a correct letter in the correct place, yellow means the right letter in the wrong spot, and grey means… try again. It sounds easy, but ask anyone who's lost a 200-day streak — it’s tougher than it looks.
Hints That Might Have Helped (Or Not)
So what were the clues for today’s mind-boggler?
- The word is something closely associated with paper.
- It begins with the letter F and ends with an O.
- It’s packed with vowels — three, to be precise.
- It features four distinct letters.
- And, if you guessed the word "oboli," you would’ve seen four letters go yellow.
Still scratching your head? You weren’t alone. Many players hit the dreaded sixth guess with no definitive answer.
And The Word Is...
Drumroll, please. The answer to Wordle #1433 for May 22 is: FOLIO.
Yes, folio — that bibliophilic term for a folded sheet of paper that becomes two pages, or in modern use, a collection of pages. If you guessed it, consider yourself in the literary elite.
And if not? Wordle can be tricky, you see, and it's not unusual to look for a little bit of help if you want to preserve your year-long winstreak. No shame in that. Bookmark this page for tomorrow — we’ve got your back.
