Today’s Wordle puzzle, number 1665, has left some players scratching their heads. As Wordle enthusiasts know, guessing the daily five-letter word can sometimes be a challenge, especially when players use a rich vocabulary but still find themselves stumped.
The game became a phenomenon during the pandemic, capturing the attention of many looking for a mental exercise while isolated at home. Each day, players have six tries to deduce a new word, with feedback from their guesses helping them narrow down the possibilities. Players learn whether their letters are in the correct position, in the word but misplaced, or not in the word at all based on the color coding of their guesses—green for correct letters in the right spot, yellow for correct letters in the wrong spot, and gray for letters that don’t belong at all.
For today’s puzzle, a helpful initial clue is that the word starts with a vowel. To aid players further, here are three additional hints: the word means to decisively beat or defeat someone and it can also refer to a magic ball.
If you’re still working on it, here’s the answer: today’s Wordle is “EIGHT.” It’s certainly a thinking challenge that many players appreciate. As you continue your Wordle journey, don’t forget to check back daily for new tips and tricks to enhance your gameplay.
