“Wordle” #1,085 clues and answer for Saturday, June 8 game
The weekends are for resting, so why not also get a bit of help solving today’s Wordle? Newsweek is here to lend you a helping hand.
The daily puzzle was invented by software engineer Josh Wardle because he wanted a game “for me and my partner to enjoy.”
“[My partner] and I play it on the couch together each morning,” Wardle told Newsweek. “She will consistently get it in three goes, which is way, way better than I can ever hope to achieve. I normally need at least four or five attempts.”

Players need to solve a mystery five-letter word in six guesses or fewer and are guided by a color-coded tile system to let them know if they are on the right track.
A green tile means the letter is correct, while yellow tells you the letter appears in the word but is in the wrong spot. Finally, a gray tile shows that the letter does not appear in the word at all.
WordsRated did some research and found the most-common starting letter used by Wordle players is S, with 15.81 percent of answers beginning with it.
The next most-common starting letter is C, with 8.58 percent of Wordle answers starting with the consonant, although S is the starting letter for 167 more words than its nearest rival. B is in third place with 7.49 percent.
