Having trouble with the solution to today’s Wordle? Don’t worry, whether that’s a last-minute rush or fear of losing that all-important streak, we’ve got you covered. This guide’s the ideal balance between providing useful suggestions and avoiding spoilers, until you’re ready. Whether you’re totally stumped or just need a bit of a nudge, we’ve got you covered.
Wordle is a five-letter word game played every day, with players having six attempts to guess the secret word. With each guess, feedback comes in colored letters:
Gray: The letter isn’t in the word anywhere.
Yellow: The letter is in the word but not in the right position.
Green: The letter is in the word and in the right position.
It’s fast to play, easy to grasp, but surprisingly hard to master!
If you’re stuck, here are some spoiler-free hints to help you out:
Starting Letter: The word begins with G
Ending Letter: It ends with E
Vowel Count: Contains two vowels, A and E
Letter Pattern: More consonants than vowels
Definition Clue: A clearing found in the woods
Strategic Starter: The word STEAK reveals two useful vowel clues, though in yellow!
Once you’ve taken a stab at STEAK, you’ll know that A and E are in the solution but in the wrong positions. A second attempt such as CRANE could place both vowels in their correct locations, while ruling out other consonants.
From there, consider natural features or forest vocabulary. If you’re still stumped, go for a word with all five letters being distinct and look for common pairings that end in -ADE or -ADE.
Try GLADE if you’re stuck for ideas, yes, that’s it!
Don’t over-rely on meat-related words solely because of the starter STEAK, they won’t be much use here. Avoid also being distracted by vowel-rich guesses; today’s word is more consonant-dependent.
Still stuck? Don’t worry, here’s the reveal:
GLADE
A glade is an open area in the woods, usually a sunlit clearing among dense forest. The term has Middle English origins, perhaps from Old English glæd or Old Norse glöð, both ‘bright’ or ‘shining.’
