Today’s Wordle Answer #571 – January 11, 2023 Solution And Hints

Still unsure? The solution word to today’s Wordle puzzle (#571 – January 11, 2023) is “sedan.” If you’ve been around for a while, you’ll know the above heading refers to Canadian rock-n-roll singer Neil Young’s 1979 punk-rock hit “Sedan Delivery”. Since we’re on the topic, we recently surveyed US respondents to find out which car manufacturer makes the most reliable sedans, and the results were quite interesting.

Etymonline reports that the origin of the word “sedan” is unclear, but it is most likely a Southern Italian dialect derivative of Latin “sedes,” a noun connected to sedere “to sit,” from the Proto-Indo-European root “sed” of the same meaning.

Sedans are usually confused with coupes, but the distinction is pretty easy: sedans always have four doors, and coupes always have two (thankfully, “coupe” rhymes with “two” so you can use that as a reminder if you ever forget). Some auto-heads argue that coupes can have four doors and that the main distinction between a sedan and a coupe is in the interior space and the car’s roof design: coupes always have a sleek top that extends to the trunk.

We hope you find this article early enough to finish the puzzle on time, and if you’d like to prolong the fun, here are more games like Wordle to keep you busy.
