How Today's Wordle Answer Works
The official Wordle publishes exactly one five-letter answer per day, shared by every player worldwide. The puzzle number counts up from #0 on June 19, 2021, and the answer rotates through a fixed list of common English words. This page computes the current day's answer directly in your browser from that public rotation — no waiting, no newsletter signup, and it updates itself at midnight without any manual work.
If you play in a different time zone, the date shown above follows your local clock, matching the puzzle currently live in your official Wordle app. Missed a day? The previous answer is shown under the puzzle number so you can verify yesterday's result.
Try Hints Before the Full Answer
Peeking at the solution saves today's streak but teaches you nothing. A better habit: reveal hints one at a time. Knowing just the first letter cuts 2,300+ candidates down to roughly 150. Adding the vowel count narrows it further, and the letter pattern usually leaves a handful of options you can solve in one or two guesses. Use the buttons above in order and stop as soon as you have a guess in mind.
Stuck After the Hints? Solve It Properly
When hints are not enough, enter your guesses and their green-yellow-gray colors into our Wordle Solver to see every remaining valid answer, or look up candidates by pattern in the Word Finder. Both tools are free with no login.
Strategy: Protect Tomorrow's Streak Too
One rescued streak means little if you lose the next day. The two highest-leverage habits are an elite opener and unlimited practice:
- Open with CRANE, SLATE, or SLANT. These cover the most frequent consonants and vowels, collapsing the candidate pool below 100 words on guess one. Our Best Wordle Starting Words guide ranks the full list with data.
- Drill outside the daily. The official game gives you one rep per day; our free Wordle practice game and Wordle Unlimited mode give you infinite reps to rehearse burner words and trap escapes.
- Learn the burner-word escape. When ten answers share an ending like -ATCH, never guess them one by one — fire one word that tests all the differing consonants at once. See today's Wordle hints for worked examples.
