Looking for Saturday’s Wordle hints, clues and answer? You can find them here:
Sunday is here, and while it’s very lovely out and I encourage everyone to break up their laziness with some outdoor fun, it’s also a great day to kick back with a good TV show or movie.
I have a most excellent recommendation this weekend: Ludwig, a new mystery series from the BBC now out on BritBox. It’s about a master puzzle-setter who finds himself caught up in a mystery, impersonating a police detective and solving murders the way he’d normally solve complex puzzles. Kind of perfect for Wordle solvers! You can read my review here, and check out my weekend streaming guide here.
Now let’s solve this Wordle!

My hint today is fitting. It’s the reason I guessed the Wordle on my third guess. I’d just recently written a post about the new Snow White film and as I was coming up with possible guesses for my third guess, I came up with DOPEY. With princesses and dwarfs on my mind, this seemed like a fitting guess. I was lucky when it ended up being the Wordle! Very lucky, since SKATE left me with 399 words and LINER only cut that to 49. Hi-ho, hi-ho!

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word “dopey” comes from the slang term “dope,” which originally referred to a thick sauce or gravy in Dutch (doop) but later evolved in American English to mean a drug (especially opium or narcotics). By the late 1800s, “dope” was used to describe someone under the influence of drugs, and “dopey” came to mean dazed, sluggish, or slow-witted, like someone affected by drugs. Over time, it also took on a more playful or mild sense, meaning foolish or silly.
