What is the Wordle answer 281? (March 27, 2022)
The Wordle answer 281 is “NYMPH.”
(If NYT decides to skip this word, the answer should be “FOUND.”)
“NYMPH” is a noun that means “a mythological spirit of nature imagined as a beautiful maiden inhabiting rivers, woods, or other locations” or “an immature form of an insect that does not change greatly as it grows, e.g. a dragonfly, mayfly, or locust.” (Definitions from Oxford Languages)
“NYMPH” will no doubt be a tough answer for many players to find. Firstly, it’s an uncommon word that is unlikely to be in most players’ vocabulary. Then there’s the issue of the word having no vowels. With most players starting words incorporating a lot of vowels, as they are the most common letters, it’s going to be very tough to find a single letter to base new guesses upon.
For those struggling to find the correct word, trying to use all of the available guesses to eliminate as many letters as possible can be a solid strategy. Provided you aren’t playing on Hard Mode, which forces players to use confirmed guesses in the following attempts, it’s possible to use each new guess to knock out as many potential letters as possible.
