The Wordle today is #288 for Sunday, April 3, 2022 in case you haven’t been keeping count. We sure have, since new Wordle hints and guides need to be written every single day. It’s a bit repetitive, sure, but honestly it’s kind of interesting finding unique ways to make roundabout hints for each and every new word. It almost gives you a new appreciate for the English language and how we think about it sometimes — much like the Wordle word of the day itself does. At least for us! But you’re probably not here for pontificating. You’re here for Wordle hints or perhaps even the answer to today’s Wordle itself. so let’s get into it.
As we just explained, we’re going to give some hints before sharing the answer. If you just want said answer, scroll to the bottom. It’s right there in bold text below the aforementioned “SPOILER WARNING.” For those of you who just want a tiny nudge in the right direction, the next section includes both some easy hints (whether the word is a noun or a verb, a very broad category of what it could be, etc.) followed by some more specific clues. The latter should all but tell you what the word is.
