Today's Wordle hint and answer on Friday 7th June for 1084 (2024)

How to narrow down and solve today's Wordle.

It's nearly the weekend, which is the perfect time to wind down and find a nice place to work out the Wordle answer for today, 7th June 2024.

For the uninitiated, the aim of Wordle is to work out a daily five-letter word within six guesses. The fewer the guesses, the better - and if you fail to guess it at all, you'll break your streak.

The latter is why working out today's Wordle answer is such a priority, as players pride themselves on keeping their streak going. So why gamble on a risky final guess when you can learn a few clues and, failing that, get the definitive answer? This page can help with that.

Once you have today's word, learn more about Wordle and how the New York Times became interested in games in this interview with Jonathan Knight, Head of Games for the NYTimes. In keeping with the word theme, we've also discussed why The NYTimes Mini Crossword is a reliable joy.

Clues for today's Wordle answer

Instead of going straight to the answer, you might only need a few hints to get you over the line:

• This word has no repeating letters.
• Today's word has two vowels in it.
• This word starts with 'M'.
• In Disney Dramlight Valley, players can find a Boba Tea of a specific type that uses this word.

Still not sure? Read on for the answer.

Wordle answer for word 1084 on 7th June 2024

Even with the above clues, still not sure and want to keep that streak going?

The Wordle answer today is MELON.

Although it's the end of the week, Wordle didn't go easy with us. As for my first guess, I went with 'RALES' from a list of good words I always consult to start a Wordle game. A starting 'L' right in the middle of the word doesn't help much, though. I tried 'PILOT' right after, which gave me my second letter. Great! Two out of five! I had a long list of words with these two letters so I decided to go with 'ALLOY'. No luck with this one! My next guess was 'NYLON' and finally got another letter. But I ended up picking all the wrong words for the next attempts. Well, at least I found out that the word was 'MELON'.

Now you have the answer, do not spoil it for others! Remember, you can share your results spoiler-free in the form of a grid.

Of course, no one has to know you came to this page to work it out. Maybe put in two or three fake guesses first to throw them off the scent, perhaps?

Today's Wordle etymology

The etymology of the word 'MELON' takes us back to Medieval Latin, where we can find the word 'MELONEM', used to name a type of pumpkin. A little bit later, this word would originate in another term but now in Old French, where 'MELON' was the name of a specific sweet and edible fruit. 'MELON' was also the word Greeks would use to talk about foreign fruits.

What to play after Wordle

With your daily Wordle completed, the question is - what shall you play now?

You can, of course, try out the other word-based games offered by the New York Times, like Spelling Bee, the Mini Crossword and Letter Boxed. You can also take a crack at Connections, the daily Sudokus and Tiles - a rather additive motif matching game.

There’s also a range of games which have put a twist on the Wordle formula. Squaredle challenges you to find a series of words by connecting letters in a four by four grid. Meanwhile Dordle, Quorodly, Octordly and Sedecordle all keep to the standard Wordle, while increasing the number of words you have to find. The challenge comes in how your guesses count for all of the words, so you need to decide whether you’re going to focus on a specific word or try to solve multiple words at the same time. Thankfully, the number of guesses you’re given increases alongside the amount of words you’re expected to solve.

If you want a break from spelling though, try GeoGuessr. Here you’ll be given a picture of somewhere, anywhere, in the world and have to place a marker on where you think that location is. There’s even an Old School RuneScape version.

Hope you enjoyed playing Wordle today!
