Today’s Wordle definition

And here’s what it means, according to our good friend ChatGPT:

A basin is a geographic term with several related meanings depending on the context:
  1. Geological Basin: A large, natural depression on the Earth’s surface, often containing water. Basins are formed by various geological processes such as erosion, subsidence, or tectonic activity. They can be filled with sediment over time.
  2. Hydrological Basin (Drainage Basin or Watershed): The area of land where all precipitation collects and drains off into a common outlet, such as a river, bay, or other body of water. This includes all the surface water from rain, snowmelt, and nearby streams that flow into the outlet, as well as the groundwater beneath the earth’s surface.
  3. Oceanic Basin: A large, low-lying area of the Earth’s ocean floor, found between the continental margins and the mid-ocean ridges. These basins can be thousands of meters deep and contain various marine sediments and ecosystems.
  4. Structural Basin: A depressed segment of the Earth’s crust that is typically filled with sedimentary rocks. These basins are often formed by tectonic activities such as the bending and warping of the Earth’s crust, creating a depression.
  5. Domestic Basin: In everyday usage, a basin can also refer to a sink or container used for holding water, often found in bathrooms or kitchens for washing purposes.

In summary, a basin is generally an area of land or seafloor that is lower than its surroundings and can collect water or sediments.

Tips for tomorrow’s Wordle

It might seem like Wordle is all luck, but there are a few good practices you can use to help get as many clues as possible in just a few guesses, making it that much more likely you can figure out the final word before you run out of tries. The most important guess is your first, and the trick is to load up on vowels (A, E, I, O, and U).

Some popular starting words people have had good luck with are “adieu,” “media,” “arise,” and “radio.” Just make sure not to pick a word with double letters, or you’re wasting precious guesses. The aim here is to try to figure out which vowels the mystery word contains, then layer in common consonants and close in from there.

Your second word, assuming that the first one gave you a good jumping-off point, should begin to lean more heavily on common consonants like R, S, and T. More good ones here we’ve seen are “stern,” “irate,” and “atone.” You never want to reuse any letters from a prior round that showed up as gray — you know they aren’t in the word.

Now that’s all solved and the definition is taken care of, and you’re armed with some tips to crush tomorrow’s Wordle, here are some games like Wordle you can try today.
