Why Wordle Is Still the Morning Ritual for Millions
It’s been nearly four years since Wordle first exploded into our feeds, and yet it’s still as addictive as ever. What started as a sweet side project from Josh Wardle for his partner has turned into a global brainteaser phenomenon. Now owned by The New York Times, it’s part of millions of people’s daily routine — almost like sipping that first cup of coffee.
Every day, a fresh puzzle drops at midnight local time, and for many players, the clock is ticking from the moment it’s live. You either crack the code in record time… or spend the morning groaning over missed guesses (pun intended).
How to Play Wordle Like a Pro
If you’re new or just need a quick refresher, here’s the game in a nutshell: you’ve got six attempts to guess a secret five-letter word. Each time you enter a guess, the tiles change color to guide you:
- Green: Right letter, right spot.
- Yellow: Right letter, wrong spot.
- Grey: Nope, that letter’s not in the word at all.
Your strategy matters — opening with a word that’s rich in vowels and common consonants can make all the difference. Personally, I like to start with something like SALTY or DINER just to get a spread of letters on the board.

- Vowel count: Two vowels.

Today’s Wordle Answer for August 6, 2025
Alright, puzzle solvers — this is your final warning. If you’re still piecing things together, scroll carefully because spoilers are about to hit.
Drumroll… the answer to Wordle #1509 is GROAN.
It’s a word that captures the sound we often make when a tricky puzzle almost slips away — a deep sound of pain, frustration, or even boredom. And in true Wordle fashion, today’s clues were subtle but spot-on, leading to a neat little “aha!” moment.
How I Solved It
My starting word gave me two vowels right away, which made narrowing things down much easier. By the second guess, I had “O” and “A” in play, but the real breakthrough came when “R” and “N” popped up in green. From there, it was just a matter of lining up the letters — and “GROAN” fell into place. Honestly, I’d rate today’s puzzle a 3.5 out of 5 on the difficulty scale. Without that rhyme hint, it could’ve been a real head-scratcher.

Why This One Was Tricky
No repeating letters means fewer traps, but the clue “to moan” could easily send your mind toward words like whine or grief. The challenge was keeping your guesses broad enough to test multiple consonants while holding onto the vowels you’d already found.
