Wordle Hints & Tips For Friday, August 26
Today’s Wordle is a noun referring to an abstract concept rather than a physical object. This word refers to the use of words to express something opposite of what is actually meant. This is usually done so in a humorous or sarcastic way to emphasize the true meaning hidden in words. Examples of this concept would be telling a room of silent people, “don’t speak all at once!” or saying, “Wonderful weather we’re having!” during a blizzard.
This concept also refers to when a situation seems directly opposite to what someone initially expected. For example, when an English teacher has poor grammar or when a pilot has a fear of heights. As you may maybe tell, this definition is also mostly used in comedic contexts.
For our final hints, the August 26 Wordle starts with an “I” and ends with a “Y." This word contains three different vowels, though our hint has already unveiled two of them. What’s important here is mostly the placing of these letters, so try and find words that give you the flexibility to try out letters in different spots. Here, you at least know the word will begin with an I - that should help drastically narrow down the number of possible guesses. If you wind up with a single guess left, we’ve got the final answer reveal coming up now.
What Is The Wordle Answer Today? (Friday, August 26)
The answer to today’s puzzle in Wordle is “IRONY."
Although ‘irony’ is most often used for comedic effects, there are also a number of ways authors use irony in tragic ways. One major method is through dramatic irony when the audience holds significant information that is unknown to a character. This kind of irony instills a sense of tension, as the audience can see the ultimate series of events far before the actual characters in the story can.
