Wordle answer for August 24, 2024
Spoiler: The answer is FILET.
The dated answer page from AOL and an independent puzzle archive identify FILET for #1162. Forbes also published hints for the puzzle, including the boneless-cut clue and the silent final letter: Forbes’ August 24 Wordle hints.
Example solve paths—not a required strategy
Published solver accounts show different routes, and neither should be treated as a universally best sequence. One player reported opening with TRACE and getting two yellow letters; that is an individual account, not a general result. A separate archive replay lists ROATE, then SLEET, then FILET as a three-guess route. These are examples only, not a guarantee of how many guesses another player will need.

Why some answer lists disagree
One unofficial solution list gives IDLER instead of FILET. The dated hint-and-answer coverage and the independent archive support FILET, but the available sources do not establish why that list differs. The conflict is unresolved; the evidence does not support presenting IDLER as an equally backed answer.
