Good morning, Wordle enthusiasts! It’s August 6th, 2025, and time for our daily brain-tickling ritual. I hope your coffee is strong and your thinking caps are on! Today, we’re tackling Wordle #1509. You can check out yesterday’s puzzle fun here (no spoilers, I promise!). Let’s see if we can collectively conquer today’s word.
Stuck? Don’t worry, I’m here to provide some gentle nudges in the right direction. Here are a few hints to get those gears turning:
- How many vowels are hiding within today’s word? The answer is two.
- Are there any letters that like to repeat themselves? Nope, each letter is unique.
- Our mystery word starts with a ‘G’ and ends with an ‘N’.
- Think about a sound someone might make when they’re in pain or disapproval.
Still pondering? Okay, last chance to turn back before the big reveal! Scroll down for the solution and a little analysis.
The answer to Wordle 1509 for August 6, 2025 is… GROAN.
Definition: Groan (verb) means to make a deep, inarticulate sound conveying pain, disapproval, or grief; (noun) a low, mournful sound.
The word “groan” has its roots in Old English and is related to words that describe a deep, guttural sound. It’s a pretty straightforward word, and its meaning hasn’t changed much over the centuries.
Personally, I found today’s Wordle to be a bit of a mixed bag. My opening guess, ADIEU (as always), didn’t yield much, only giving me one letter in the wrong spot! I then tried STONY, which gave me the N in the right place and solidified some other letters that didn’t belong. Realizing that G and R should exist, I put them at the beginning and ending up with an answer in my third attempt with GROAN!
I found it to be tricky because, while the individual letters aren’t uncommon, putting them together in that specific order requires a bit of lateral thinking. It’s easy to get caught up in common letter combinations and overlook this one.
So, it took me 3 tries to crack Wordle #1509. Not my best, but definitely not my worst! How did you fare today? Share your scores in the comments below! I’m always curious to see how everyone else approaches these puzzles.
