January 15’s Wordle answer is revealed with progressive hints to guide players step by step.
Wordle has become a daily ritual for many players, requiring just five minutes of concentration, a few missteps, and that exciting rush when the answer finally comes together. Today's NYT Wordle features sharp consonants and a meaning that most players will recognize once the letters are arranged correctly.
Whether you play methodically or rely on gut instinct, today’s puzzle rewards steady elimination and a clean second guess. Here’s how it unfolds.
Wordle is a daily online word game where players attempt to guess a hidden five-letter word in six tries or fewer. After every guess, the game gives feedback to guide your next move.
First Guess
Start with any valid five-letter English word. Many players prefer openers like SLATE or COURT to test common letters early.
Color Feedback
Each guess triggers color clues:
Green: Right letter, right spot
Yellow: Right letter, wrong spot
Gray: Letter not in the word
Apply Logic
Drop gray letters from future guesses. Lock in greens. Shift yellows around until they land in the correct place.
Six Tries to Solve It
Find the word within six guesses, and you’re done for the day. Everyone around the world gets the same puzzle.

If you need a nudge, these clues move from broad to specific:
Meaning: A deep crack or gap
Origin: From Greek, linked to the idea of something ‘gaping open.’
Puzzle Clue: Heavy on consonants, light on vowels
Suggested Starters: SLATE, COURT
Superhint: Think of a word used to describe a massive split in rock or land.
The answer to today’s Wordle is:
CHASM
Opening with COURT, locked in the first letter, quickly trimmed the possibilities. A follow-up guess narrowed the field to three options: CLASH, CLASS, and CHASM. Avoiding double letters helped rule one out, leaving CHASM as the clean finish.
Both the player and Wordle Bot solved it in three guesses, ending the day in a tie.
