Today’s Wordle Answer (November 9th, 2022): Puzzle 508 Hints, Clues, and Solution

Don't let it lower your mood

If you need help with today’s Wordle answer for November 9th, 2022, just look at the window. With winter rolling in there's a good chance you will be able to describe the scene using the exact word.

Puzzle 508 combines some fun letters with a decent core of vowels to build around. But, whatever the combination, with just six guesses to figure things out, even the best players need a hint sometimes.

Hopefully where you live today's target isn't an everyday word, but it is very common. However, that doesn’t mean it’s a straightforward Wordle to solve. The letter in the first position hasn’t appeared in that slot at all over the last 30 days, but it has showed up a massive six times in different places.

The consonant at the end should be easier though, it's appeared six times in that slot alone over the last month.

To help you track them down without too much trouble, we’ve thought of some Wordle hints to give you a few clues. We’ve also updated our list of recent Wordle solutions from across the last few weeks to give you some ideas for letters if you’re stuck.

Today’s Wordle Answer November 9th

The Wordle answer today is rainy.

Given how often it rains in the UK, is it a surprise that a very similar word, "regn", was already present in Old English?

While the word itself is of uncertain origin, it's most likely a product of early Germanic languages, given the very similar analogues in German and Dutch (both "regen") and Danish and Norwegian (both "regn").

While it might seem like a modern invention for making slang words, adding "-y" to the end of a word to turn it into an adjective meaning "full of, or characterised by something" was actually present in Old English too, but it was pronounced more like "-ig".
