Today’s Wordle answer July 2
Today’s Wordle answer is: EGRET. An egret is a type of heron, a large bird noteworthy for its white plumeage and long legs. Game Of Thrones fans (if there are any left) might also recognise this word as a homophone and probable inspiration for the name of Ygritte, Jon Snow’s Wildling love interest. Both the heron and the Game Of Thrones character are beautiful to look at, but are also vicious and opportunistic hunters. And of course, adding one letter to the start of the word gives you REGRET, which is something you may well experience if you get too close to an egret. Now you know all that, be sure to keep this solution to yourself until tomorrow so that other people can try today’s puzzle for themselves. I’m sure all the twitchers out there were delighted with that one, but I suspect those who aren’t as up on their ornithology might have been left stumped.
