The New York Times Wordle answer for April 4 (No. 1750) is SANDY, the daily five-letter puzzle revealed by CNET’s hints page. The puzzle contains no repeated letters, opens with S and ends with Y, and features one standard vowel and one “sometimes” vowel — a pattern that makes the word commonly associated with time at the beach.
CNET’s write-up warned that while SANDY is an ostensibly straightforward entry, it proved trickier than expected for the author, who took more guesses than anticipated. To help solvers, the site offered incremental hints ahead of the reveal: confirmation there are no duplicate letters, guidance on vowel placement, the first and last letters, and the clue tying the word to seaside imagery. The outlet also pointed readers to its list of recommended starter words based on letter frequency in English to improve early-game coverage.
For context, yesterday’s Wordle (No. 1749, April 3) was SINGE. CNET also listed recent answers from the end of March and start of April: March 30 was COMET (No. 1745), March 31 SWAMP (No. 1746), April 1 FIZZY (No. 1747) and April 2 SOBER (No. 1748). Those entries show the mix of common and less predictable vocabulary the daily game often produces, a balance that keeps the puzzle familiar but occasionally challenging.
Wordle, the five-letter word-guessing game acquired by The New York Times in 2022, remains a fixture of daily online routines for many players. Outlets that publish daily hints and answers—like CNET—typically provide a mix of spoiler-free nudges and full reveals for those who want them. CNET’s page also cross-links to its coverage of other NYT puzzle formats, including the Mini Crossword, Connections, Connections: Sports Edition and Strands.
Readers looking to improve their Wordle game are frequently advised to open with words that contain common consonants and multiple vowels to maximize early information. CNET’s starter-word recommendations are informed by letter-frequency analyses, aiming to reveal as many correct or misplaced letters as possible in the first two moves. Even so, as the April 4 puzzle demonstrated, a seemingly simple theme word can still cost a few extra guesses.
The April 4 Wordle adds to the string of daily answers that long-time solvers track and compare; enthusiasts often keep logs, share results on social media, or consult daily hint pages for a quicker path to a solution. For those avoiding spoilers, outlets offering staged clues provide the option to stop before the final reveal, while others prefer a full disclosure so they can move on to other puzzles without delay.
