How To Solve Today’s Wordle

How To Play Wordle

Wordle is a daily word puzzle game where your goal is to guess a hidden five-letter word in six tries or fewer. After each guess, the game gives feedback to help you get closer to the answer:

• Green: The letter is in the word and in the correct spot.
• Yellow: The letter is in the word, but in the wrong spot.
• Gray: The letter is not in the word at all.

Use these clues to narrow down your guesses. Every day brings a new word, and everyone around the world is trying to solve the same puzzle. Some Wordlers also play Competitive Wordle against friends, family, the Wordle Bot or even against me, your humble narrator. See rules for Competitive Wordle toward the end of this post.

Wordle Bot Analysis

Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordle score with Wordle Bot right here.

CRATE only left me with 39 words, but I couldn’t convert that into a 3-guess game. I had this weird feeling that it wouldn’t be just the two vowels so I guessed ASHEN next, and that didn’t help much. 12 words remained when I tried out BLAME, and that left me with just 3. I still had that sense that there would be one more vowel and I guess WEAVE for my fourth try. Lucky for me, that was the Wordle!

Today’s Wordle Etymology

“Weave” comes from Old English wefan (“to interlace threads, form fabric”), from Proto-Germanic webaną. It’s closely related to “web,” which originally meant a woven fabric before taking on broader meanings (like spider webs or the internet).

The deeper root is Proto-Indo-European webh- meaning “to weave,” reflecting the long-standing human practice of textile-making. Over time, “weave” also developed figurative senses like interlacing ideas, movements, or paths.
