Today’s Wordle Answer June 24

The Wordle answer today is smite.

As you might expect given its associations, the more commonly used meanings for the word smite - strike, kill and "visit disastrously" - come from the bible and were first seen in around the 1200s and 1300s.

However, smite apparently originally meant something more similar to smear, blemish, or defile.

How the different meanings arose isn't fully understood, but if you think about it, if God smites you to death then you would be pretty blemished afterwards.
