Today’s Wordle #1636 Hints & Answer For Thursday, December 11

Forbes' latest Wordle challenge is a riddle that has left many solvers scratching their heads. The answer 'choice', when you have one - it's none. In other words, having only one choice often means not having any choices at all.

This week's bonus custom Wordle is 6 letters long and begins with a vowel. As per the hint, we are all doing this when solving Wordles: thinking, planning, and strategizing to find the hidden five-letter word.

The game's rules are simple - guess a word, and the game will provide feedback in the form of green, yellow, or gray squares. A green square indicates that the letter is correct but not in the right position, while a yellow square means the letter is in the word but not in the correct spot. A gray square signifies that the letter is neither in the word nor in the correct position.

To play Wordle, you can start by guessing a five-letter word and receive feedback from the game. You have six chances to guess correctly before running out of attempts. The game also offers competitive mode where you can challenge friends, family, or even Forbes' Wordle Bot.

In today's Wordle, the starting word was SLATE for the bot, but human solvers like ourselves began with STALE and later made some crucial guesses that led to the answer - GUESS! This week, we tied with the Wordle Bot in terms of points and overall performance.

As a bonus, Forbes has included another custom Wordle challenge that you can try out.
 
omg 😮 i know rite? 1 choice = no choices lol.
thinkin bout how hard it is to guess the word 🤯. sl ate didnt work so st ale was the way to go, and then i started thinkin 'guess' is a pretty good answer lol. but congrats on gettin 2 points w/ the bot its like... whoa 😲
 
omg i'm so stoked about this new wordle challenge!!! 🤩 i mean, have you seen it? 6 letters long and starts with a vowel lol what even is the point of all these vowels?? 😂 anywayz, i love how they're giving us that competitive mode to play against our friends and family. my sister and i went head-to-head and i got totally destroyed 😅 but it was so much fun!

i gotta say tho, i'm loving the strategizing part of wordle. like, thinking and planning ahead is super hard for me, but its def worth it when you finally get that answer right 🤯 and dont even get me started on the bonus challenge - i'm already trying to come up with a new strategy for it lol

anywayz, if anyone needs help or just wanna chat about wordle, feel free to hit me up 💬
 
Omg I'm literally stuck on this new Wordle 😩!! The hint is so vague and it's driving me crazy 🤯! I've tried like 20 different words already and none of them are giving me the right feedback 💔. But, I did hear that some people started with SLATE instead of STALE, who knew? 🤷‍♀️. And, wow, beating the Wordle Bot is a big deal! 👏👀 I'm gonna try to beat it myself and maybe get a spot in the leaderboard 💥. Anyone have any tips or strategies that can help me out? 🤔
 
I'm so stuck on this Wordle thing I forgot what "choice" even means 🤦‍♂️. But for real tho, it's kinda funny how it said we're thinking, planning, and strategizing... like, yeah no kidding! We're all just over here going "okay, next guess, gotta try something new!" 😂 And I'm glad the bot didn't get us, that would've been a total fail! 🚫. Can someone pls give me another hint so I can stop scratching my head? 💭 It's like, I know there's only one 'G' and everything else is a mystery... gotta keep trying! 🔍
 
Ugh, sounds like Wordle is just a reminder that even when we think we have control over our lives, there are just so many variables to consider... like the fact that 'choice' itself isn't really a choice at all 🤦‍♂️. And now they're giving us another custom challenge? Just what I needed to make my day complete - more stress and anxiety about trying to solve a 6-letter riddle 💔. Can we just fast forward to the part where we're all stuck in some kind of existential crisis, huh? 🤯
 
🤯 I think this is so cool how they came up with this riddle 🤔. Having only one choice often means not having any choices at all... it's like when life gives you lemons and you're stuck making lemonade 🍋. It makes me wanna play this Wordle game again, wanna see if I can get to that GUESS! 💡
 
omg this wordle thing is sooo frustrating lol i swear i've been staring at the same 5 letters for like an hour trying to figure it out 🤯♂️ u think its 'choice'? idk man... having only one choice is literally not a thing cuz when u have no choices u gotta do what u gotta do, u feel? 😂 anyway i'm gonna keep tryin' till i get it and hopefully i'll be the first one to guess it 💡
 
omg u guys i'm so confused 😂🤯 about this new wordle challenge its like they want us to think too hard 🧠💡 but lol at the same time its kinda clever how they made it a riddle about having no choices 🤔👀 anyway i did manage to solve it and btw i love that our human solves beat the bot 💪🏼😎
 
omg i'm so confused by this latest wordle riddle 🤯 i tried like 10 times already but cant seem to figure it out 🤔 anyone else having trouble with this one? 🙋‍♀️ i love the hint about thinking planning and strategizing though it's def true for me every time i play wordle 💡 maybe it's just me being slow or something lol 😂
 
🤔 I'm loving this latest Wordle challenge on Forbes. I mean, have you guys thought about it? "Choice" is basically the opposite of what we're doing here 😂. We're all trying to figure out a 6-letter word with a vowel starting letter... talk about thinking and planning! 🧠💡

I've been playing Wordle for ages now, but this one's got me stumped. The hint is spot on, though - it's all about strategizing and making smart guesses. I love how competitive mode adds an extra layer of fun to the game 🏆.

But what really caught my eye was the fact that we tied with the Wordle Bot in terms of points... that's impressive! 💥 Either way, I'm excited for the new bonus challenge - can't wait to give it a try 🔍.
 
.. wordle's really got me thinkin' about life sometimes 🤔... havin' only one choice can be both a blessing & a curse, ya know? like when u have 2 job offers, but one of 'em is better suited for ur long-term goals. or on the flip side, if u got only 1 option in a relationship & it's not right for u... anywayz, i love how wordle challenges us to think carefully, plan ahead, & strategize 🤓... but what really impresses me about this game is that even with all the tech involved, human solvers can still give it a run fer its money 😊...
 
I feel like I'm stuck in this game 😩. It's crazy how having one option can be kinda... not great? Like, we're always trying to find the best fit, but sometimes it feels like there's just no good choice 🤔. The way Wordle works, you have to think really carefully and strategize, which is pretty cool 💡. I love that I got to play with a few friends this week - it was so much fun competing against them in the competitive mode 🏆. And wow, beating the Wordle Bot? That's impressive! 😮
 
ugh i'm so over wordle 🙄 it's just the same old thing every day. first off, who thought 6 attempts was enough? can't we have like, an eternity to get it right? 🤯 and don't even get me started on the game's logic. a gray square is literally never useful because you'll always try another letter anyway. 🙃 and have you noticed how they always start with some vowel just to mess with us? 🤔 it's like, hello, i'm trying to solve here, not play wordle roulette! 💀
 
Wordle's so much fun 🤔, but sometimes it feels like they're just trolling us, ya know? Like, if I'm trying to solve this one with a vowel starting word and it gives me 6 chances... what's the point? 😂 And then there's this bonus round that's literally "think, plan, strategize"... sounds like my Monday morning routine lol.
 
omg what's up with forbes' new wordle challenge tho 🤯 it's like they're trying to confuse us on purpose lol 😂 the game is literally just guess a word and see what happens... simple as that, yet so hard 🤔 i mean i got stuck on this one custom wordle thingy too 👀 but congrats to the ppl who solved it faster than forbes' bot 💪
 
omg u guys i was totally stumped on this new wordle challenge too lol i started with STEMS but my friend emily (she's super smart btw ) suggested i try STEAM and then it clicked!!! i did like 10 attempts before i got it right and it was such a rush when the green squares popped up I'm so down for that competitive mode tho, I've been trying to beat my bf's score for weeks now 🤩👊
 
Dude I'm so confused by this latest Wordle riddle 🤯🔍. The clue is saying it starts with a vowel but the answer is literally "choice" which is basically just one option, right? 😂 I mean, what's the point of having only one choice if you're not even choosing from multiple options? It sounds like a paradox to me...
 
Umm... I don't get it 🤔. So, the answer is literally "choice" when you're stuck between options? That's kinda weird, right? And now they've got this new Wordle with a 6-letter word starting with an vowel... I mean, how often do vowels even make up the first letter of words? 😂 I'm just not buying it. Can't we just go back to guessing random words like usual? This custom stuff is just confusing me 🤯. And what's up with this "tied" thing with the Wordle Bot? Did they even cheat or something? 🤔
 
omg I'm so stoked about this new Wordle challenge 🤩🎉 guess I'll have to dust off my thinking cap 🧠 and strategize 💡 my fave thing about playing Wordle is the thrill of getting that elusive green square 🔵 but it's also super satisfying when you finally figure out the answer 😊 GUESS indeed! 👏 btw, what's up with the SLATE starting word though? 😐
