Today’s Wordle Answer (September 22nd, 2022): Puzzle 460 Hints, Clues, and Solution

Today’s Wordle answer for September 22nd, 2022, will go down in history as a canonized example of just how great word games can be.

The word featured in Puzzle 460 is most often associated with biblical or religious contexts, but has crossed over into mainstream speech so fully that even the irreligious wouldn’t think twice about using it as an adjective to describe someone.

Truth be told, this isn’t too tough of a puzzle once you get going, with a nice core of vowels to build around and some common letters at the end of the word. However the first letter has only appeared in that position once over the last 30 days - so it’s not a total cakewalk.

As always with Wordle you still have to work hard to narrow down the possibilities from the whole alphabet of consonants, and not everyone uses the optimal starting words to get a lot of green or orange letters straight away.

To make your task more manageable, we’ve come up with some Wordle hints for September 22nd, 2022, to give you a few clues. We’ve also updated our running list of recent solutions from across the last month to give you some inspiration if you’re struggling.

Today’s Wordle Answer September 22nd

The Wordle answer today is saint.

Given its biblical connotations, it might not come as a surprise that the word saint has its roots in the Latin word “sanctus”, which meant holy or consecrated.

By the late Latin period it was already being used as a noun to denote a saint or holy person, and this usage crossed over into Old French as “seinte”.

Saint reached Middle English from French in the 1200s, ironically replacing or influencing a change in the comparable Old English word “sanct” which had also come from the same Latin root.
