Hints for today's Wordle (#1,860)
Today's Wordle answer
Why today's Wordle is on the easier side
Today's answer uses common letters, has no repeats and a healthy 2-vowel structure — the kind of word most standard openers like SLATE or CRANE cut down to just a few candidates by the second guess.
Yesterday's Wordle answer
Missed a day? The answer to yesterday's puzzle, Wordle #1,859 (July 22, 2026), was LORRY. You can review its full hints and breakdown here, or browse every past solution in the answer archive.
How to use today's hints without spoiling the fun
The hints above are ordered from gentlest to strongest on purpose. The first letter alone usually cuts the candidate pool by 90%, so start there and go back to the puzzle — most days that's all you need. The vowel count and repeated-letter hints are for narrowing a stubborn middle game, and the alphabetical-letters hint is the last stop before the answer itself: at that point you're essentially solving an anagram, which is a fine skill to practice in its own right.
If you find yourself here every day before guess three, the fix is usually your opening strategy — our guide to the best Wordle starting words explains the letter-frequency math, and the three-guess system turns the color feedback into a routine. For the patterns that break streaks — double letters, word families, rare letters — keep our 5-letter word lists bookmarked. And after you solve, the NYT's official WordleBot will grade your play and show you exactly where you gained or lost information.
About Wordle
Wordle is the daily five-letter word puzzle created by Josh Wardle and published by The New York Times — the same word for everyone, one puzzle per day, six guesses to find it. Green tiles mean a letter is in the right spot, yellow means it's in the word but elsewhere, gray means it's not in the word at all. The full story of the game's creation and its 2022 acquisition is on Wikipedia, and answers track standard dictionaries closely — when a word surprises you, Merriam-Webster almost always has it. A new puzzle goes live at midnight in your local time zone, and this page refreshes with it, every single day.
