Vowel count is one of the fastest early filters. Once you know how many of A, E, I, O and U appear, you know how much room is left for consonants.
Does Today’s Wordle Start With a Vowel?
Roughly four out of five Wordle answers begin with a consonant, so a vowel start is a big giveaway when it happens.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is today’s Wordle answer?
Today’s Wordle answer is shown above in the Answer section — just click the tiles or press “Show Full Answer” to reveal it. We verify the answer every day by playing the puzzle ourselves before it goes live.
What is the best starting word for Wordle?
CRANE, STARE, SLATE, or AUDIO are the best starting words. They cover the most common letters in English. CRANE is the most popular — it hits C, R, A, N, and E which appear in hundreds of Wordle answers.
How many tries do you get in Wordle?
You get 6 tries. After each guess, the tiles change color — green means right letter, right spot; yellow means right letter, wrong spot; grey means that letter isn’t in the word at all.
Does Wordle use the same word for everyone?
Yes — everyone in the world gets the same word on the same day. That’s what makes it fun to share your result on WhatsApp or Twitter without spoiling it for others.
Can Wordle repeat letters in a word?
Yes, it can. Words like FUZZY, BELLE, or AFOOT have repeated letters. This is one of the trickiest parts of Wordle — if you get a yellow on a letter you already marked grey, don’t panic, it just means the letter appears more than once.
What happens if I miss today’s Wordle?
Your streak resets to zero — but that’s okay. The answer is shown here so you still learn the word. Tomorrow is a fresh start. Most players just use hints early rather than lose their streak.
Are your hints spoiler-free?
Yes. The hints above are designed to guide you without giving it away. They go from easy to hard — stop as soon as you have enough to guess. The full answer is hidden behind a separate button so you only see it if you choose to.
Does Wordle use proper nouns or unusual words?
No proper nouns — the NYT removed them early on. Wordle also avoids very obscure words. It sticks to everyday 5-letter English words that most people know, though occasionally it throws a tricky one like TACIT or KNAVE.
Can I play yesterday’s Wordle?
Not on the NYT site — once the day is over, that puzzle is gone. But you can see yesterday’s answer in the Yesterday section above. If you want to practice, try the NYT Wordle archive or use our Wordle Solver to simulate past games.
Why is Wordle so addictive?
One puzzle a day — that’s the secret. The scarcity makes it special. You can’t binge it. Add in the social sharing, the streak pressure, and the satisfaction of cracking it in 2 or 3 tries, and you’ve got the perfect daily ritual.
