<p data-start=”556″ data-end=”712″>For Wordle regulars, today’s puzzle (#1504) felt like a curveball. The initial clues might have been subtle, but they all pointed toward something rhythmic.</p>
<p data-start=”714″ data-end=”1090″>Players were told: “Today’s Wordle answer is like a guitar, but not quite.” That should have been a strong nudge in the musical direction. Adding to the riddle, it was revealed that the word starts with a “B” and ends with an “O”. A useful pointer for seasoned guessers, especially when paired with the clue that the word contains two vowels and five unique letters.</p>
<p data-start=”1092″ data-end=”1336″>The suggestion to try the word “obang” as a starting point was especially helpful. “If you type in the starting word ‘obang’, then four letters will turn yellow,” the guide advised, offering a solid foothold for narrowing down possibilities.</p>

<p data-start=”1447″ data-end=”1733″>That’s right. The stringed instrument known for its twangy sound and bluegrass roots was today’s answer. Not the most common word to pop into your head on a Friday morning, but that’s part of Wordle’s charm. It makes the uncommon feel just within reach, if you’re looking closely enough.</p>
<p data-start=”1763″ data-end=”2149″>For those unfamiliar, the <em data-start=”1789″ data-end=”1796″>banjo</em> is a musical instrument typically associated with folk, country, and bluegrass music. Known for its distinctive round body and upbeat tone, the banjo has carved out a niche of its own in the musical world. It may not be a word that finds its way into everyday conversation, but today, it took centre stage in millions of players’ morning brain teasers.</p>
<p data-start=”2151″ data-end=”2311″>And if you got it right? Hats off to you. The banjo isn’t just a stringed instrument today; it’s also a badge of honour for those who guessed it within six tries.</p>
