The Wordle of the day is here again! Not to mention we’re back again to help you find the Wordle answer for October 21, 2022. That means, as David Lynch likes to say, it’s a Friday once again. The even better news is that the word games (and hints) just don’t stop! If you’re trying to keep track, this latest one brings us finally to Wordle 488. I’m not sure if that’s a special number to anyone out there, but hey! Everything means something to someone. And if you’re here having issues guessing the correct word, we’re also here to help as usual. Whether you just need a few hints to get you on the right track or you’re simply looking for the answer as a means of keeping your score intact, we’re here to help.
We’re going to give some hints first before sharing the answer. If you just want said answer, scroll to the very bottom of the article. 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.
Today’s Wordle Word Hints of the Day: #489
In this section, we try to keep things vague and only point you in the right direction. Hints at this stage will be more about the meaning of the word, rather than any specific letters that are used in the word itself. We also won’t use other methods like “rhymes with,” “sounds similar to,” and the like. More specific hints are included just after that — finally followed by the full solution after a Wordle spoiler warning. Figured we’d just warn you one last time!
Easy Hints
These first hints will steer you in a general direction without giving too much away!
- It’s a type of terrain.
- Known to include cultivated groups of large plants.
Even with those two hints, there are still plenty more possibilities to choose from. We’ll try to narrow things down in the next section!
More Specific Hints
You still absolutely get credit (and keep that streak going) if you need these beefier hints. Let’s narrow it down and get a bit more specific.
- Another word for a small grouping of trees.
- Shares most of its name with a well-known, blue-furred Sesame Street monster.
Still drawing a blank? Think about it some more or scroll down for the final answer reveal.

The Wordle of the Day for October 21, 2022, #489 is:
- GROVE
I almost mentioned that this is also the name of a semi-famous mall in Los Angeles, which I went to with my friends last year, but that felt a little too esoteric for a hint. Maybe next time!
