Today’s Wordle #570 Hints, Clues And Answer For Tuesday, January 10th

Well it’s Tuesday and we’re ten days into the new year already. 10 down, 355 to go. We’re in a regular 365-day-year in 2023. 2024 will be a leap year—which means February gets one extra. By my calculations, that means that on February 29th, 2024 we’ll get Wordle #985. The next February 29th will be in the year 2028, and unless they’ve added more words to the Wordle pile, the game will have run out by then—or perhaps evolved into six-letter words or simply began again, in a new cycle.

Something about Wordle always makes me think about time. Dates. Calendars. The etymology of months and days. Perhaps it’s because I’ve never journaled, and this Wordle guide/column/whatever has become a place for daily ruminations. Not the sort you might put in a journal or diary—nothing that personal for all the world to see—but ruminations nonetheless. February 29th, 2028 is 2,446 days from now. Over five years into the future. Where will we all be then?
