Best y'all climb aboard, it's time to crack the Wordle for May 9, 2025! Let's dish out some clues, tricks, and moral support. Today's puzzler's gonna leave you hangin' - took me five shots to say ding-ding! Remember, folks, there's spoilers ahead for May 9, Wordle #1420.

Shall we have a Wordle dance?

Wordle rocks your world here on the New York Times website. A brand-new challenge gets served up every day, midnight, your time.

Bust out with a five-letter guess. Wordle'll show ya if the letters jive, turnin' 'em green if they're right, yellow if they're on point but in a different spot, and gray if they ain't even on the dance card. Ready for some hints? Let's saddle up and ride!

Any quirky letters in today's Wordle dance?

We'll set common as the normal here: think that aged ol' typesetter ETAOIN SHRDLU. Party with Edwin Shirdloo, like he's your pal, and pretend the letters guide ya. Well, today we got four of 'em common and the fifth ain't too hard to come by.

What's a bodacious Wordle hint for today?

Dig the slang? Today's dance reminds me of offal.

Got any double-dippers in the rhyme today, partner?

Nope, it's a one-of-a-kind today. No repeats to be found.

What's the letter count on today's dance?

We got us an elegant twosome of vowels.

What's the openin' letter for today's Wordle?

Giddy up, partner! Today's dance starts with T.

Last call on the rhyme: which letter's dancin' us out?

And here's our finale: E.

Let's see if y'all got the moves for today's Wordle dance!

Alrighty now, are ya ready? Today's song's TRIPE.

What was yesterday's Wordle dance?

Yesterday's dance was medium-hard. Hint was "fresh as the breeze" and the melody contained four common letters, one solid common letter, one fairly common letter, and one not-so-common letter.

Yesteryday's dance was BALMY.

A quick lowdown on Wordle basics

Got to crack the code on the secret dance. Open up that ol' grid, ya, and it's on you to start the jive: fire up any five-letter word.

Now, look at the colors that shimmy your way:

  • Green means you nailed a letter, and it's in the right spot.
  • Yellow means the letter's on board, but it's not waltzing in the right square.
  • Gray means the letter ain't even tryin' to dance with you today.

Swivel your hips and guess some more, tryin' to break it down to the correct dance. You got six shots, and the floor closes once you're outta tricks.

Choosin' your starter dance moves

What's your move for that first guess? Strong pickers like CRATE, SLATE, or STAIR set the mood, bunchin' popular letters so ya get some flavor early on[2][4]. But to each their own, dance like ya wanna, partner.

Tips to twirl your way to victory

Here's some advice to help ya stomp the competition:

  1. Strong Initial Guess: Begin with a word that dances with popular letters. Ain't no better way to snag green and yellow squares than with common partners[2][3].
  2. Feedback Utility: Pay close attention to the feedback ya get: become a master of that dance floor!
  3. Avoid Repeatin' Incorrect Letters: Dig new partners, and leave those dead weight dancin' mates by the wayside.
  4. Combine Letter Combinations: Certain letters often lock arms, like th, ch, or sh. Remember those zesty dance partners!
  5. Stay Logical and Practice: The more ya boogie, the deadlier ya get, partner. Stay cool, think sensibly, and use your smarts to crack the case[2][4].
