Key Takeaways
- Puzzle Number Today's answer is Wordle #1768, published Wednesday, April 22, 2026.
- First Letter SNORE starts with S and ends with E — the -ORE suffix is the key structural tell once O at position three and E at position five are confirmed.
- Vowel Count SNORE has two vowels: O at position three and E at position five. Three consonants — S, N, and R — fill positions one, two, and four with no repeated letters.
- Definition SNORE describes the rough, hoarse sound produced during sleep when airflow is partially blocked — a noun and verb used in medical, casual, and comedic contexts alike.
- Best Openers CRANE, STONE, and STORE are effective openers that test S, N, O, R, and E simultaneously — any of the three can surface four or five of today's letters in a single guess.

Strategy: how to solve Wordle #1768 in under four guesses
Two-vowel words with common consonants reward disciplined openers. The S at position one and the E at position five are the exact tiles CRANE and SLATE-style openers are designed to surface. Anyone who opened with a vowel-heavy starter like ADIEU or AUDIO is already halfway there: the O is locked by guess two, and S/N/R in the consonants narrows the pool fast.
- CRANE Hits three of today’s letters — R, N, E — with the E landing green at position five on the first try. One of the most efficient openers in the NYT word list.
- SLATE Places the S at position one as green and confirms the E at position five. Two green tiles after one guess leaves a narrow candidate pool.
- Guess 2 — triangulate the O After CRANE or SLATE, test an opener like STORY or SHORE: either one locks the O at position three and fills in the last vowel slot cleanly.
- Guess 3 — close it out With S_O_E known and R confirmed somewhere, the candidate list collapses to SNORE, SCORE, SHORE, and STORE. Elimination finishes the puzzle on guess three or four.
Average NYT solve on a two-vowel, no-repeat word like this one runs between 3.6 and 4.1 guesses. Anything under four on today’s configuration is a clean solve.
Why today’s answer is more interesting than it looks
Wordle’s word list leans on everyday vocabulary, but it rarely surfaces sleep-related verbs. SNORE belongs to a small pocket of five-letter words describing bodily, involuntary sounds — alongside SNORT, GROAN, and CROON — and today’s choice is the softest of the set. The S/N pairing at positions one and two is a common Wordle rhythm (SNARL, SNAIL, SNAKE) that trips up players who don’t test S-starters early.
A habit worth building: once your opener reveals an S at position one and a final vowel, scan the S-prefix word list mentally before guessing. SN-, SC-, SH-, ST- and SP- words dominate the five-letter space, and narrowing to the right digraph on guess two saves a full turn.

Today’s Wordle Answer
- Today’s word SNORE
General Wordle strategy that works every day
A strong opener covers two or three vowels and four of the highest-frequency consonants. CRANE, SLATE, AUDIO, and ADIEU are the four most commonly recommended first guesses, and the data behind them is simple: they each surface enough tile information on turn one to let a disciplined player solve the board in three or four guesses across almost any NYT word. Players who rotate between two openers — one vowel-heavy, one consonant-heavy — have the lowest long-term loss rate.
After the opener, the single biggest mistake is guessing a plausible word too early. Burn a second guess on pure information — test the consonants you haven’t seen yet — and only lock in an answer on guess three when the candidate pool has collapsed to fewer than five words.
