Today’s Wordle — #1441 if you’re keeping count — honestly felt pretty fair. Not too easy, not too hard. But still, it threw some of us off at first. The word? It was IDIOM. And yeah, it’s one of those words that we hear all the time, but don’t really think about, you know?
If you’ve ever heard someone say “spill the tea,” that’s an idiom. Basically, it’s a group of words that, when used together, mean something different than what they actually say. So, today’s answer was more about how we speak than just letters and sounds. Kinda cool, right?
The Clues That Could’ve Helped
If you were stuck on the puzzle today, don’t feel bad. The clues were there, but they weren’t super obvious either. Here's the kind of stuff that might’ve helped:
-
It’s something we use in everyday talk, without realizing.
-
It sounds simple but doesn’t always mean what it looks like.
-
If you've ever said “under the weather” or “kick the bucket,” you’ve used this.
So yeah, “idiom” isn’t a rare word, but it’s one of those that hides in plain sight. A little tricky, but fair.
Some Quick Wordle Tips That Actually Work

If today had you guessing till the last try, here’s a few things I’ve found that actually help:
-
Try starting with a word that has a mix of vowels and common letters. Stuff like “SLATE” or “CRANE” works well.
-
Don’t keep reusing letters that the game already told you aren’t there. That just wastes guesses.
-
If you get a yellow or green, build around that and switch up the combos.
-
Sometimes, just walking away and coming back later clears your mind. Sounds silly, but it works.
There’s no magic trick, but paying attention to what the puzzle gives you can really help you avoid last-try panics.
Looking Ahead to Tomorrow
If today’s puzzle caught you off guard, don’t stress it. Wordle likes to bounce between super obvious and “wait, that’s a word?” kind of puzzles. You win some, you almost get others. Just showing up each day and having fun with it is kinda the point, right?
Also, even if you didn’t get today’s in six tries — it’s not a big deal. There’s always another word tomorrow.
