How to solve today's Wordle. Looking for Tuesday’s Wordle hints, clues and answer? You can find them here: Odin’s Day is always special here in this Wordle column. Instead of diving right into solving the Wordle, I always include a riddle, logic puzzle or brain-teaser.
Lately, I’ve been doing a series of fantasy-themed puzzles. Knights racing to deliver a message. Thieves crossing a bridge while the king’s guards are in hot pursuit.
That sort of thing. And today, for Wordle Wednesday, we continue down this path. Here’s the puzzle: A knight , ranger , wizard , and cleric enter an orc-infested valley for a 6-hour challenge to see who can slay the most orcs .
Each hero has different strengths—and each faces their own setbacks during the fight. Use logic and math to determine who slays the most orcs and rank them from greatest to least. ⚔️ The Knight FEATURED | Frase By Forbes TM Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder Slays 10 orcs per hour Spends 30 minutes helping a wounded squire At hour 2 , a wandering troll appears, forcing him to hide for 15 minutes 🏹 The Ranger Slays 8 orcs per hour Every hour, he must spend 12 minutes restringing his bow and gathering arrows He’s skilled enough, however, to avoid the troll without losing time 🧙 The Wizard Slays 15 orcs per hour using powerful magic After 3 hours , his spells are exhausted and he must fight with a staff, slaying 3 orcs per hour At hour 2 , the troll appears and forces him to hide for 15 minutes ✝️ The Cleric Slays 6 orcs per hour Takes a 15-minute prayer break every 2 hours , including the first 15 minutes of this contest (i.
e. at hour 0, 2, and 4) The troll appears during one of these breaks, so he loses no additional time Note: Each character slays orcs-per-hour and this number is impacted by the complications that arise. The Ranger, for instance, slays 8 orcs per hour, but the 12 minutes per hour he takes to restring his bow lowers that number accordingly.
Also: You cannot kill a percentage of an orc, so any totals must be rounded down. Wounding an orc does not count toward the total. Your Task: Determine how many orcs each character slays in total.
Then, rank them from most to least. Okay, Wordle time! The Hint: Strong beliefs and values. The Clue: This Wordle has more consonants than vowels.
Okay, spoilers below! . . .

Enjoy! The word "moral" comes from the Latin moralis , meaning "pertaining to manners or morals," which itself derives from mos (plural mores ), meaning "custom" or "habit." The term was popularized in this sense by Cicero to translate the Greek word ēthikos ("ethical"). It entered Middle English via Old French moral .
