Wordle #1055 hints for May 9, 2024
Use these clues in order, stopping as soon as you have enough to make a guess:
- The answer can name a food.
- It can also describe uneven or abrupt motion.
- It begins with J and ends with Y.
- It contains one vowel and has no repeated letters.
The Times of India’s dated guide says the puzzle allows six chances. [Times of India]
How to use the clues
Wordle feedback narrows two things: which letters belong in the answer and where they go. Once a guess identifies a letter but places it incorrectly, test that letter in another position while using any remaining guess to check plausible new letters. That is a practical elimination approach, not a claim that one opening word is statistically best.

It is one reported route, not the only possible one. [Fortnite Insider]
