🔡 What letter does today’s Wordle start with?

Today’s Wordle answer begins with the letter A.

❗ Today’s Wordle Answer (#1,425)

The answer is: AWARE

Today’s puzzle wasn’t the trickiest, though the presence of a repeated ‘A’ and the less common letter ‘W’ may have slowed some players down.

🧠 Solving Strategy

Here’s how today’s Wordle was solved:

1. First guess: ORATE
   A popular opener that uses five common letters. This guess turned up:
   • 🟩 A and E in the correct positions
   • 🟨 R in the word but wrong spot
   According to WordleBot, this left just 8 valid solutions.
2. Second guess: SCARE
   This was a good follow-up, placing R correctly and reducing the possibilities to just 4 words.
3. Third guess: GLARE
   Didn’t help much directly, but helped rule out certain endings.
4. Final guess: AWARE
   Noticing the repeated A was key here. The puzzle was solved in 4 moves.

📚 Yesterday’s Wordle Answer (#1,423)

If you missed yesterday’s puzzle, the answer was BICEP.

This word was a bit tougher:

• Only one common letter from the top five
• Ends in P, which only 56 Wordle words do

Starting with ORATE left 190 possible words—far too many. Better openers like TROPE (56 words remaining) or PLACE (just 5 options) would have helped.

From there, smart guesses like LINES, DICEY, and eventually BICEP led to a win in four moves for most players.
