How the Hint Tiers Work
The four hint levels move from broad clues to details that narrow the answer. The first points to the word’s meaning or category without naming a letter. The second covers its shape: vowel count, repeated letters, and useful patterns. The third gives the first letter. The fourth gives the final letter and an extra word clue. Each level opens separately, so you choose how much help to take. Open only one at a time if you want to keep the puzzle intact. Order is deliberate: meaning comes first, then structure, then letter positions. You can stop after a level when you have enough information to finish the grid. The tool shows the puzzle number and date by the hint cards, so you can check that the clues match today’s game.
Strategy Tips When the Hints Aren’t Enough
When the clues leave you stuck, check the information already on your board before using another guess. First, review every gray letter and make sure you have not placed a rejected letter back into a candidate. Next, pay attention to common closing letters. In the archive data used for this site, E and Y account for a large share of Wordle endings, followed by T, R, and L, so testing a candidate with one of those endings can be sensible. Repeated letters matter too: about one third of past answers contain a repeat, so do not rule out a doubled letter just because your first few guesses used different letters. Keep green positions fixed and move yellow letters only to places where they can work. Use each spare guess to test several unknown letters at once. When several words remain, choose a guess that separates them rather than one that simply looks familiar. That can be more useful than chasing a single possible answer too early. The full letter and position figures are available on our Wordle letter statistics page, including the letter patterns in every past answer. Return to the meaning clue after each letter and keep its definition in mind.
Yesterday’s Wordle for Context
Yesterday’s Wordle was puzzle #1914, released on 15 September 2026, and its answer was DEALT. That word is already out of play for today’s puzzle, so you can remove it from your candidate list. It is one of the five-letter English words the Wordle answer list draws from. To check earlier puzzles, use the archive of every past answer and search by date or puzzle number. Yesterday’s answer cannot return on today’s board, so leave it out while testing today’s candidates. So you can focus only on today’s clues from here alone.
FAQs
Does this page show today’s Wordle answer?
No. This page is for players who want clues without seeing the answer. Today’s word is not printed in the hint text or placed at the bottom. After using the clues, you can follow the link at the end to a separate page for the answer. The clue page itself remains spoiler-free throughout the day.
How many hints are there for today’s puzzle?
There are four hint levels. The first gives a meaning or category clue. The second covers vowel count, repeated letters, and the word’s pattern. The third gives the opening letter. The fourth gives the final letter plus an extra word clue. Open them in order and stop when you can finish the puzzle yourself today.
Are the hints ever wrong?
The clues come from current puzzle data. Before the tool is used, the answer is checked against a second source so the daily hints match the correct puzzle. When source data differs, the clue tool should stay closed until the mismatch is checked. This keeps a wrong clue from sending you toward a false guess.
When are today’s hints available?
Today’s hints become available after the new Wordle puzzle is published. The current puzzle number and date appear in the tool, so you can confirm the clues belong to your game. Puzzle #1915 was released on 16 September 2026, and current published Wordle pages identify that same puzzle number and date before you open one.
If You Decide You Want the Answer
You have a valid reason to stop solving: sometimes the last few guesses are not worth the time. When that happens, use the link to reveal today’s Wordle answer. It leads to the separate answer page, where the word is still hidden until you press its reveal button. That gives you one final chance to change your mind before the spoiler appears. The link is clearly marked, so you know what you are opening. You remain in control of the spoiler. Nothing appears until you choose to see it yourself.
