Why this site exists
There is a certain kind of stuck where you want help but you still want the win to be yours. That in-between spot is what we built this site around. Each morning we post a ladder of clues that opens with the broad stuff, like what sort of word it is and how many vowels sit inside it, and tightens step by step toward a single letter and a hint about meaning. Climb only as far as you need, then close the tab and go finish your board.
Because the solution lives behind its own separate button, opening this page or reading past the clues will never ruin the puzzle for you. You decide the exact moment the word appears.
What is on the page
Every day you get the layered hints, the confirmed word, a plain-English definition of it, a quick sense of how tough the puzzle is, and a rolling list of the past couple of weeks so you can cross options off. Sitting alongside those are guides that do not change day to day, covering the rules, which opening words pull their weight, and how to claw back a difficult grid in fewer tries.
How each day is put together
Before a page goes live, the word and its clues are matched against that day's official New York Times puzzle. Nothing is a guess, and nothing is lifted from a rival site. On the rare occasion an error slips through, we correct it fast, and a heads-up from a reader is always welcome.
Standing on our own
This is an independent project. It carries no connection to The New York Times Company, and it is neither sponsored nor approved by them or by the official Wordle game. Wordle is a trademark of The New York Times Company. All we do here is offer friendly commentary, clues, and pointers so the puzzle stays fun.
