Alright, mate! Here's the lowdown on today's Wordle game, June 10, 2025! This puzzle isn't too hard, I nailed it in four goes. But be warned, there are bloody SPOLIERS below for Wordle #1,452! If you're eager to get some hints (and the darn answer) for today's Wordle, keep scrolling!
How to stand a Fight in Wordle
You can find the bloody thing here on the New York Times site. A new puzzle drops daily at midnight, your local sodding time.
Kick things off by guessing a five-letter word. If the letters match the secret word, they'll turn green (zafick). If you've got the right letter in the wrong place, they'll turn yellow (zak). If a letter ain't in the secret word at all, it'll stay gray (bag). For more deets, check out our guide to playing bloody Wordle here, and my advanced strategy guide here. (We've also got more info at the bottom of this post, after the hints and answers.)

We'll define common letters as those that appear in the typical typesetter's phrase ETTOIN SHRDLOU. (Memorize this, ya bloody berk! Pronounce it "Eddie Shirdloo," like a mate, and pretend he's a bell-end you've known for years.)
There are two common letters from our mnemonic today. Two are slightly common, one is uncommon.

Yesterday's bloody Wordle answer
Yesterday's Wordle was pretty darn easy. The hint was "often made of wood" and the answer contained four common letters and one slightly common letter.
The answer to yesterday's bloody Wordle was BLOODY BOARD.
A bloody Primer on Wordle basics
The gist of Wordle is to guess the day's secret word. When you first open the game, you'll see a grid of empty letters. It's up to you, mate, to make the first move. Type in any five-letter word, and let's bloody well get this show on the road!
Now, you can use the colors that are revealed to get clues about the word. Green means you correctly guessed a letter, and it's in the correct position. (For example, if you guess PARTY, and the word is actually PURSE, the P and R will be green.)
- Yellow means the letter is somefookin'where in the word, but not in the position you bloody guessed it. (For example, if you guessed PARTY, but the word is actually ROAST, the R, A, and T will all be yellow.)
- Gray means the letter is not in the solution word at all (fookin' help me). (If you guessed PARTY, and everything is gray, then the solution cannot be PURSE or ROAST.)
With all that in mind, guess another word, and then another, trying to land on the correct word before you run out of guesses. You get six goes, and then it's game over.
The best bloody Starters for Wordle
What should you bloody well play for that first guess? The best starters tend to contain common letters, to increase the chances of getting yellow and green squares to guide your guessing. There isn't a single "best" starting word, but the New York Times's Wordle analysis bot has suggested starting with one of these:
- CRANE
- TRACE
- SLANT
- CRATE
- CARTE
Meanwhile, an MIT analysis found that you'll eliminate the most possibilities in the first round by starting with one of these:
- SALET
- REAST
- TRACE
- CRATE
- SLATE
Other good picks might be ARISE or ROUND. Words like ADIEU and AUDIO get more vowels in play, but you could argue that it's better to start with an emphasis on consonants, using a starter like RENTS or CLAMP. Choose your strategy, and see how it plays out, you guts!
How to win at bloody Wordle
We've got a few guides to Wordle strategy, which you might like to read over if you're a serious student of the game. This one covers how to use consonants to your advantage, while this one focuses on a strategy that uses the most common letters. In this advanced guide, we detail a three-pronged approach for fishing for hints while maximizing your chances of winning quickly.
The biggest thing that separates Wordle winners from Wordle losers is that winners bloody well use their guesses to gather information about what letters are in the word. If you know that the word must end in -OUND, don't waste four goes on MOUND, ROUND, SOUND, and HOUND; combine those consonants and guess MARSH. If the H lights up in yellow, you know the bloody solution.
One more note on strategy: the original Wordle used a list of about 2,300 solution words, but after the game was bought by the NYT, the game now has an editor who hand-picks the solutions. Sometimes they are slightly tricky words that wouldn't have made the original list, and sometimes they are topical. For example, FEAST was the solution one Thanksgiving. So keep in mind that there may be a theme, you bloody fool!
Wordle alternatives
If you can't get enough of five-letter guessing games and their kin, the best Wordle alternatives, ranked by difficulty, include:
- Wheeldle, which lets you play one puzzle after another
- Dordle and Quordle, which ask you to play two (Dordle) or four (Quordle) puzzles at the same time, with the same guesses. There is also Octordle, with eight puzzles, and Sedecordle, with 16
- Waffle, which shows you several five-letter words, scrambled in a grid; you play by swapping the letters around until you solve
- Absurdle, which changes the solution after each guess, but needs to stay consistent with its previous feedback. You have to strategically back it into a corner until there is only one possible word left; then you guess it, and win
- Squabble, in which you play Wordle against other people with a timer running. You take damage if you spend too much time between guesses; winner is the last one standing
- Antiwordle, in which you are trying not to guess the day's solution. You're required to reuse any letters that you (oops) guessed correctly, so the longer it takes you, the better you are at the game.
