Start your week of word games off right with today’s Wordle answer for June 13. We've checked the solution and updated the hints now that the game is live.

Puzzle 359 features a few letters that appear in popular starting words like “crane”, but it has a few quirks that are sure to keep a lot of people still guessing.

To help you on your way to the solution, we’ve thought of some clues and left a couple of hints throughout the page, as well as drawing up a list of previous words that have already featured in Wordle recently.

Over the last few weeks all of these words have been used in a Wordle puzzle. Since they won’t come up again it’s best to avoid them, but you could use a couple for ideas if you’re stuck.

Today’s Wordle Answer June 13

The Wordle answer today is donor.

Like a lot of words in English, donor is a heavily anglicised version of an Old French word that has its origins in Latin - “donneur” and “donatorem” respectively.

It has basically always meant the same thing, giving a gift, but today we would just as often use it to refer to a blood donor or organ donor.

This meaning wasn’t recorded until those technologies were invented closer to the 20th century, and is an example of metaphorical extension, where words take on figurative meanings related to their original use. You’re not actually giving blood as a gift to a specific person, but rather donating to the general reserve.
