Today’s Wordle Answer #519 – November 20, 2022 Solution And Hints

Today’s Wordle answer (November 20 — #519) is brave. Someone is brave if they’re fearless or heroic, but you can call something brave if it’s colorful or splendid (via Merriam-Webster). The word is from French “brave,” itself from Italian “bravo,” which means brave or bold, but originally translated as wild or savage. The origin of this meaning is uncertain, but Etymonline reports that it has possible roots in Medieval Latin “bravus” or “pravus,” which means cutthroat or villain.

It took four tries to solve the puzzle today. Our first guess, wound, was a rather unlucky start (914 possible solutions left!). We chose the second word, blaze, because it contained two vowels that our first guess didn’t. Eliminating vowels early on is a Wordle-solving strategy that narrowed the options down to a mere three and turned three tiles green. After guessing the word brace next, there was only one possible solution. We hope you arrive at the answer faster than we did.
