EDITOR'S NOTE: This article is for Wordle answer #563; the January 4th Wordle answer is available now.
January 3rd’s Wordle puzzle throws a wrench at players by using a complicated word that describes a funny act that draws attention. While the word itself can have various meanings, the answer is usually used in a playful context. However, to solve today’s Wordle answer, players might want to use attempts that feature multiple vowels in different spots. However, many players might find themselves stuck even after discovering the two vowels due to the nature of the word.
Today’s puzzle is much easier to solve if players use Wordle’s hard mode. This mode particularly comes in handy for words such as today’s answer as it does not let players reuse previously discovered correct letters in different spots. While this might force the hand of some players, it is usually beneficial for developing new strategies and different approaches to tackling daily Wordle puzzles. If players find themselves stuck using this mode, they could use clues that give them a better idea about the answer.
Today's Wordle Hints (January 3rd #563)
Much like other vocabulary games like Crosswords, Wordle is often solved using hints that aren’t provided by the game. Since the game provides hints subtly, it often confuses players and subsequently results in sacrificing their daily streak. However, to preserve that streak, players can use the three hints found below that might help solve January 3rd’s Wordle puzzle:
|
Hint 1 |
an attention-drawing, often wildly playful or funny act or action |
|
Hint 2 |
whimsically lighthearted |

Hint 3 |
My ____ got me suspended from school (fill in the blank) |
Today's Wordle Answer (January 3rd #563)
