Today's Wordle puzzle proved to be quite a challenge for many players, ranking as one of the toughest in recent memory. Based on player feedback and guess statistics, it is considered the fifth hardest Wordle ever, with an average score of 5.5 guesses.
🧩 Hints for Today’s Wordle:
- Begins with the letter E
- Ends with the letter R
- Contains two vowels
- Includes a repeated letter
- Describes a feeling of intense desire or enthusiasm
✅ The Answer:
The solution to today’s puzzle is EAGER.
🧠 Why Was It So Difficult?
Although “EAGER” is a relatively common word in everyday English, several aspects made it particularly tough today:
- Repeated Letter: The word contains two "E"s. Many players tend to avoid repeating letters until later guesses, which can slow progress.
- Common Suffix: The "ER" ending is one of the most frequently used in five-letter English words. This opens the door to many plausible alternatives, such as "WAGER," "PAGER," or "LAGER."
- Vowel Placement: While the word includes two vowels, they’re positioned in a way that doesn’t immediately suggest the correct solution.
- Misleading Guesses: Words that fit the pattern but aren't the answer often lead players down a frustrating path. You may have guessed "FEVER," "LASER," or "LINER" before landing on the correct word.
These elements combined to throw even experienced players off balance, resulting in a challenging and memorable puzzle.
