Today’s Wordle hint and answer on Friday 1st March for 986

It’s a new month and do you know what that means? A new opportunity to resolve Wordle’s response for today, March 1.

For the uninitiated, the goal of Wordle is to solve a daily five-letter word with six puzzles. The less guessing the better, and if you can’t guess anything, you’ll break your streak.

The latter is why finding today’s Wordle answer is a priority, as players pride themselves on maintaining their streak. So why go for a risky final guess when you can learn a few clues and otherwise get the definitive answer? This page can help with that.

Once you have the word today, learn more about Wordle and how the New York Times became interested in games in this interview with Jonathan Knight, NYTimes games director. In keeping with the theme of words, we also discuss why the NYTimes Mini Crossword Puzzle is a reliable delight.

Clues for today’s Wordle answer

Instead of jumping straight to the answer, you may just need a few tips to get you over the line:

• There is a vowel in today’s word.
• This word does not have repeated letters.
• Today’s word starts with ‘F’.
• This word is the written version of a two-digit number.

Wordle’s answer for word 986 on March 1, 2024

Even with the clues above, are you still unsure and want to keep that streak going?

Wordle’s answer today is FORTY.

Well, there goes that streak: it was nice while it lasted. Honestly, I think the ‘Y’ tripped me up today because I knew exactly where I was going, but so many words end in ‘Y’ that it was my downfall.

Now you have the answer, don’t tell others! Remember, you can share your spoiler-free results in grid form.

Of course, no one has to know that you came to this page to solve it. Maybe make two or three false guesses first to throw them off, perhaps?

The current etymology of Wordle

The current word “FORTY” is said to derive from the Old English “FEOWERTIG”, which had exactly the same meaning. What’s interesting is that the phrase “FORTY WINKS,” which means to take a nap or sleep little, is said to have been first used in the 1820s.

Also, this year (2024), an old game that I could spend hours playing (and often played alongside family members) turns ‘FORTY’. Interestingly, the game itself is called 1942, so there’s something satisfying about it becoming ‘FORTY’. It’s a challenging and somewhat anger-inducing game, but that’s where the fun is!

What to play after Wordle

Once you’ve completed your daily Wordle, the question is: what will you play next?

Of course, you can try other word games offered by the New York Times, such as Spelling Bee, Mini Crossword, and Letter Boxed. You can also try Connections, daily Sudokus, and Tiles, a fairly additive pattern matching game.

There are also a variety of games that have put a twist on Wordle’s formula. Squaredle challenges you to find a series of words by connecting letters on a four-by-four grid. Meanwhile, Dordle, Quorodly, Octordly, and Sedecordle keep the standard Wordle, while increasing the number of words you have to find. The challenge lies in how your guesses count for all the words, so you must decide whether you will focus on a specific word or try to solve several words at the same time. Fortunately, the number of guesses you receive increases along with the number of words you are expected to solve.

However, if you want a break from spelling, try GeoGuessr. Here you will be given an image of some place, anywhere in the world, and you will have to place a marker where you think that location is. There’s even an old-school RuneScape version.

I hope you enjoyed playing Wordle today!
