Daily Insights: Wordle Clues and Solutions for August 11th, 2025, by The New York Times
On August 11, 2025, Wordle enthusiasts around the globe were challenged to solve puzzle #1514. The answer, revealed exclusively by The New York Times, was SOUTH.
With a few hints to guide the way, players managed to decipher the five-letter word in six tries or fewer. The clues included:
- The word contains two vowels.
- It contains no double letters.
- It starts with the letter "S".
- The answer is a direction, specifically related to compass points (East-West-North – South).
- It describes the southern region of the US, including states like Georgia and Alabama.
These hints proved helpful in guiding players towards the correct answer, SOUTH.
Wordle, a popular five-letter puzzle game, was initially a personal project shared by software engineer Josh Wardle with his partner. The game later found its way to The New York Times and gained massive popularity through group chats, social media, and daily routines.
In Wordle, each guess is met with color-coded feedback: green for correct and in place, yellow for correct but not in place, and gray for not in the word. Strategies for picking a strong opener include choosing words with multiple vowels and high-frequency consonants like S, T, R, or N, and testing common endings like -ING or -ATE.
While there is no official archive built into the Wordle game, some unofficial websites have compiled archives of past Wordle puzzles. However, it's important to note that these archives may not reflect the current word list.
If you're looking for a similar daily word game, consider Quordle or Dordle. But remember, The New York Times does not endorse these unofficial Wordle versions.
Today's Wordle starts with the letter (letters omitted for avoiding spoilers). Good luck, and happy Wordling!
