If you are here, you are probably scratching your head over today’s Wordle puzzle. Do not worry, you are not alone. As always, we are here with helpful hints and clues to guide you through today’s Wordle. Whether you are looking for a gentle nudge or the final answer, you are in the right place.
Wordle, the daily word game that has taken the internet by storm, was originally created by Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner. What began as a personal project quickly became a global phenomenon. Today, it is owned by The New York Times and continues to challenge players around the world with a new five-letter word every day.
If you enjoy stretching your vocabulary muscles, Wordle is the perfect brain teaser.
How to solve Wordle
Wordle is a simple yet tricky word puzzle where you get six attempts to guess a hidden five-letter word. Each guess provides color-coded feedback:
- Green: Correct letter in the right position.
- Yellow: Correct letter but in the wrong spot.
- Gray: Letter is not in the word at all.
To help people solve Wordle, I have made a Wordle Helper tool. You can start with any random word on Wordle. It will provide you with feedback clues. Then use the Wordle Helper tool to enter the clues, and the Wordle Helper tool will provide you with a list of possible words. With each trial, you get more clues to enter. In most cases, you won’t need more than three trials to solve the puzzle.
Hint for Today’s Wordle (April 18)
Need a clue without spoiling the fun completely? Here is your first major hint:
- The word starts with the letter ‘D’.
- It contains two vowels.
- There are no repeating letters.
Still thinking? Try starting with a word that includes common letters like D, E, or R. Words that have a mix of vowels and common consonants usually help narrow down the options quickly.
A Little More Help?
If you are close but need a bit more assistance, here is one final clue: today’s word refers to a solemn or mournful song, often played during funerals.
That should point you in the right direction.
