Daily Wordle solution and clues for August 5, 2025
Wordle, the popular word guessing game, continues to captivate players worldwide. Originating as a private game created by software engineer Josh Wardle in Brooklyn, New York, in 2021 [1][3][4], the game has since become an international sensation.
The name "Wordle" is a clever combination of "word" and Wardle's last name. Initially designed as a simple, engaging daily puzzle, Wordle quickly gained traction on social media due to its addictive format, where players attempt to guess a five-letter word in six tries or fewer and receive color-coded hints [1].
While the game shares conceptual roots with earlier word games like "Jotto" and the TV quiz show "Lingo," Wordle's distinctive format is an original creation by Josh Wardle, adapted for web play with a single daily puzzle [1].
In February 2022, The New York Times acquired Wordle, integrating it into their suite of games. Players continue to enjoy the ad-free web experience, with a new puzzle available each day [1][2][3].
As of today, the answer to the Wordle puzzle might refer to a long-legged bird. The starting letter is S, and the solution is STORK.
Fans of the game have also created alternate versions such as Squabble, Heardle, Dordle, and Quordle. TikTok creators even livestream themselves playing Wordle, adding to its global popularity.
Wordle was initially created as a gift for Wardle's partner during the pandemic, and it has since grown into a beloved pastime for millions around the world. Whether you're a seasoned Wordle player or new to the game, it's never too late to join in the daily challenge.
