Today’s ‘Wordle’ #1475 Hints, Clues And Answer For Thursday, July 3rd
How to solve today’s Wordle.
Looking for Wednesday’s Wordle hints, clues and answer? You can find them here:
Yesterday was Wordle Wednesday and I gave you an extra puzzle to solve before the daily Wordle. Today, I’ll give you the answer. This was the puzzle:
A knight awakens, shackled in a stone cell. Water trickles in through the cracks, slowly rising. Across the room sits a sturdy table. Upon it rest three boxes: one red, one blue, and one gold.
One and only one of these boxes contains the key to the cell.
- One box’s label tells the truth.
- One box’s label is a lie.
- One box’s label may be true or false.
The knight may open only one box.
These are the labels:
- Red box: The key is not in this box.
- Blue box: The key is in the red box.
- Gold box: The key is not in the blue box.
Which box contains the key — and the knight’s only chance at escaping his cruel prison alive?

Wordle Analysis
Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
I started off kind of badly with STONE with 173 words remaining and just one yellow box. POUCH was a very lucky second guess. I was thinking COUCH because I’m looking for a new one for my TV room, but I didn’t like the double ‘C’ so I moved to POUCH and snagged the first two green boxes. I still had 6 words left and no clue what the Wordle would be. I went with POLYP and finally narrowed it down to just one: POPPY for the win!

Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word “poppy” comes from Old English Popigwhich likely came from Latin poppymeaning the poppy plant. The Latin word may have imitative origins, mimicking the sound of popping or the milky juice (dadmeaning “milk” or “pap”) found in the plant. The term originally referred to the flower and its opium-producing properties.
