Stuck on Wordle today? Whether it’s the product of endless hours, late shifts, or a resolve to keep a winning streak going, there’s no pleasure quite like the thrill of cracking the daily puzzle. This guide gives subtle clues and tips to get to the solution without frustration, whether a gentle hint or a complete walkthrough is required. Wordle tests vocabulary and deductive ability, so each day’s puzzle is a little but satisfying intellectual exercise.
Wordle is a daily online word puzzle that challenges players to guess a hidden five-letter word in six tries or fewer. After each guess, feedback is provided in three colors:
Gray: The letter is not in the answer.
Yellow: The letter is in the word, but in the wrong position.
Green: The letter is in the correct position.
The game's beauty is that it’s so simple, but the difficulty arises in selecting the correct words among the fixed number of attempts. Wordle is a blend of logic, vocabulary, and pattern recognition, making the game fun and learning.
For those having trouble with today’s puzzle, here are spoiler-free hints:
Starting Letter: E
Ending Letter: E
Vowel Count: Two vowels, E and A
Unique Letters: Four unique letters
Word Type: Adjective
Definition Clue: Means ‘super happy’
Strategic Starter: Use words such as CRATE or SLATE to eliminate several options at once
Guessing words with wrong vowels like ELDER or EXTRA.
Including letters not found in the solution, such as O, I, or U.
Making guesses more complicated than necessary when the definition already leans in the direction of the emotional connotation of the word.
Some words were tried to limit options before the final correct solution was reached:
EARTH
ALARM
GRASP
MINTY
Each guess ruled out some possibilities, refining the options and leading to the correct solution. Finally, the correct solution arrived:
The term fits the teaser ‘super happy’ to a tee, defining an emotion of extreme joy or pride. Strategic starting words like CRATE or SLATE can greatly enhance efficiency in solving.

Keeping a streak takes a mix of good guessing, careful attention to subtle hints, and logical reasoning. Wordle presents a new challenge daily with a good mental workout and that wonderful ‘aha’ feeling when the solution word appears.
