What is the Wordle answer 242? (February 16, 2022) Wordle answer 242
The Wordle answer 242 is “CAULK.”
“CAULK” as a noun means “a waterproof filler and sealant, used in building work and repairs.” As a verb, it means to “seal (a gap or seam) with caulk.” (Definitions from Oxford Language)
“CAULK” isn’t a very common word, and so some players may not immediately think of it as a possible solution. What’s more, the “L” and “K” are troublesome letters that likely won’t appear in most players’ starting guesses. Words like “AUDIO” that incorporate a bunch of vowels will help nail down the “A” and “U” and make progression easier. Then it’s just a case of knocking out as many consonants as possible before making that big final guess.
