Wordle Suggestions and Solution for Wednesday, 13th August, 2025
In today's edition of Wordle, the solution is KEFIR. This uncommon yet fascinating word refers to a fermented milk drink with a sour taste[1][2][4].
The Wordle answer goes live every day at midnight, local time, and today's answer corresponds to Wordle #1516. For those who haven't guessed it yet, KEFIR starts with the letter K and ends with R, and it has no repeated letters.
The hint for yesterday's Wordle was "probably wandering", and the answer was NOMAD[3].
Wordle has seen a variety of changes lately, with an editor now hand-picking the solutions, sometimes making them slightly tricky or topical. For instance, starting with words like SALET, REAST, TRACE, CRATE, or SLATE for the first guess can help eliminate the most possibilities in the first round, according to MIT analysis[5]. The New York Times's Wordle analysis bot suggests starting with words like CRANE, TRACE, SLANT, CRATE, or CARTE for the first guess instead[6].
If you're looking for alternatives to Wordle, there are several options available. These include Wheeldle, Dordle, Quordle, Octordle, Sedecordle, Waffle, Absurdle, Squabble, and Antiwordle[7]. In Squabble, players play Wordle against other people with a timer running, and the winner is the last one standing. Absurdle changes the solution after each guess but needs to stay consistent with its previous feedback[8]. Antiwordle, on the other hand, requires players to reuse any letters that they guessed correctly, so the longer it takes to solve, the better the player is at the game.
For today's Wordle, KEFIR is a challenging yet intriguing answer. It may take some time and thought to figure it out, but the satisfaction of solving it will be well worth it. Good luck, and happy Wordling!
