Today’s Wordle Hints #1771: Clues and Answer for April 25, 2026

Today’s Wordle #1771: Saturday, April 25, 2026

Today’s Wordle is a five-letter plural noun with a familiar everyday meaning, but a notoriously tricky spelling because the way English speakers pronounce it does not match how it is written. Two vowels sit in the second and fourth positions, framed by three sharp consonants. No repeated letters, no rare characters — the difficulty is purely psychological.

Letter Breakdown: April 25, 2026

Position one is W, an opener that appears in roughly 1.5% of Wordle answers and rarely shows up in standard starting words. Position two holds O, the fourth most common vowel in the Wordle dictionary. Position three is M, a mid-frequency consonant that pairs cleanly with surrounding vowels. Position four is E — the most common letter in English — which makes the second vowel slot more guessable than the first. Position five closes with N, a strong final consonant that follows vowels naturally. No double letters, no Y.

A balanced opener like CRANE or SLATE locks in E quickly — both should drop a yellow E in position two and force a position-four placement on the next guess. From there, an opener like POINT or MOUSE tests M, O and N together. With W as a leading consonant that standard openers rarely test, most solvers reach the correct guess on attempt four or five. The key insight: once your E lands green at position four, scan for plural patterns ending in N before chasing rare consonants like K or Z — the W opener is the bottleneck, not the body of the word.

Quick Strategy Recap

Once the E lands green at position four, start cycling plural nouns ending in N before reaching for exotic consonants. Keep W in your back pocket — it is rare enough that solvers often forget it as a viable opener consonant.
