Wordle today: Hint and answer #942 for Wednesday, January 17

Wordle today puzzle on a smartphone.

Give your daily Wordle an instant lift with today's clue, ready to point your guesses in the right direction without handing over today's answer on a plate. Although if you would like the January 17 (942) answer on a plate we can help with that too—just click or scroll your way to a win.

After yesterday's bitter fight for the answer I was relieved to find today's Wordle was much better behaved. The first letter of my first guess was a helpful green, and from there it only took a few careful pokes around the alphabet to find Wednesday's winning word. I enjoyed that.
