Today’s Wordle #1615 Hints And Answer For Thursday, November 20

Yesterday was Wordle Wednesday which meant I handed out an extra riddle before we solved the daily Wordle. Today, I’ll give you the answer. This was the riddle:

Two children are born within minutes of one another. They have the same mother, but they’re not twins. How is this possible?

The answer is a sin of omission: The mother didn’t have just two children, she had three, making them triplets rather than twins.

Wordle is a daily word puzzle game where your goal is to guess a hidden five-letter word in six tries or fewer. After each guess, the game gives feedback to help you get closer to the answer:

Green: The letter is in the word and in the correct spot.
Yellow: The letter is in the word, but in the wrong spot.
Gray: The letter is not in the word at all.

Use these clues to narrow down your guesses. Every day brings a new word, and everyone around the world is trying to solve the same puzzle. Some Wordlers also play Competitive Wordle against friends, family, the Wordle Bot or even against me, your humble narrator. See rules for Competitive Wordle toward the end of this post.
