Today’s Wordle Answer June 17

The Wordle answer today is blown.

While most people have probably heard blown used as the past tense of blow in reference to things like hand-blown glass, blow also has an archaic usage which means “to bloom or blossom”.

Despite not coming up very often in modern speech, there is still one common phrase that has roots in this original meaning: “full-blown”. So when you use that phrase, you’re really saying that something is fully bloomed.

Although most uses of blown come from the other meaning of blow - which was a separate word in Old English - full-blown is just one of the places where the other meaning survives.

With that one down, try your luck against these Wordle alternatives.
