Here to enjoy your lazy Sunday Wordle? Well, we’ve got the hints and answer to help for October 23, 2022! If you’re trying to keep track, this latest one brings us finally to Wordle 491. Which, for whatever reason, sounds like it would make a good radio station number to me! I’m not sure if that’s a special number to anyone else out there, though, so that’s just me! Regardless: if you’re here having issues guessing the correct word, we’re also here to help as usual. Whether you just need a few hints to get you on the right track or you’re simply looking for the answer as a means of keeping your score intact, we’re here to help.
We’re going to give some hints first before sharing the answer. If you just want said answer, scroll to the very bottom of the article. It’s right there in bold text below the aforementioned “SPOILER WARNING.” For those of you who just want a tiny nudge in the right direction, the next section includes both some easy hints (whether the word is a noun or a verb, a very broad category of what it could be, etc.) followed by some more specific clues. The latter should all but tell you what the word is.
Today’s Wordle Word Hints of the Day: #491
In this section, we try to keep things vague and only point you in the right direction. Hints at this stage will be more about the meaning of the word, rather than any specific letters that are used in the word itself. We also won’t use other methods like “rhymes with,” “sounds similar to,” and the like. More specific hints are included just after that — finally followed by the full solution after a Wordle spoiler warning. Figured we’d just warn you one last time!
Easy Hints
These first hints will steer you in a general direction without giving too much away!
- The end result of a famous religious ceremony.
- Involves dead (and often wealthy) people.
Even with those two hints, there are still plenty more possibilities to choose from. We’ll try to narrow things down in the next section!
More Specific Hints
You still absolutely get credit (and keep that streak going) if you need these beefier hints. Let’s narrow it down and get a bit more specific.
- It’s the name and central subject of many classic monster movies.
- Usually associated with Egypt.
Still drawing a blank? Think about it some more or scroll down for the final answer reveal.
