FYI, we don’t reveal the answer outright. We just hint at it. However, it is okay to give possible wrong answers.
Alert: The first 8 words of our comments show up on the homepage sidebar, so prefacing any hint with a short observation is the best way to go.

Early Spoiler results are usually updated around 12 p.m. Central.
Vj, the daily recap is not up yet. Is everything ok?
I didn’t look at the date closely enough. All that I say was JFK and 1961 so I became fixated on the Bay of Pigs. 1/3 correct answers.
I’ll say ONE right
I learned some months ago that if I go into my phone’s settings and manually set my time zone to be somewhere where it is “tomorrow,” I’ll get “tomorrow’s” Wordle from the NYT. With this method, I just did tomorrow’s Wordle, and found that it’s finally the starter word I’ve used daily for years.
LOL, JP, I’ll have to wait until tomorrow to find out what it is. I’ve been waiting a while for one of the xROWN words to come out. i thought it was gonna happen the other day but the word turned out to be PROWL Then FROWN was one of the words in today’s Waffle game.
JP, I don’t understand the point. Are you an impatient person?
I suppose I can be impatient at times.
I’ll say 3/3 today.
Not too hard, I will predict 2. There are a few different agencies that you could logically pick though.
