What is Wordle?
For those unfamiliar with the game, the objective of Wordle is to guess a daily five-letter word within six attempts. The fewer guesses you use, the better your score. If you fail to guess the word, your streak will be broken, which is why it’s crucial to figure out today’s answer and maintain your winning streak.
Clues for Today’s Wordle Answer
Before revealing the answer, here are a few hints that might just get you there:
- The word contains two vowels.
- There are no repeating letters.
- The word starts with 'J'.
- You can find one of these in Franklin's house in Grand Theft Auto V.

Today's Wordle Answer
If you’re still unsure and want to keep your streak intact, the Wordle answer for today is JOINT.
My experience with today’s Wordle started off a bit rocky, but I managed to figure it out in four guesses. I began with 'WHALE', which didn’t yield any vowels. Next, I tried 'CRISP', which provided me with a single green letter. I made some progress with 'ONION', and ultimately deduced that the answer was 'JOINT'.

Sharing Your Wordle Results
Once you’ve completed your puzzle, remember to share your Wordle result! Just be mindful not to spoil it for others. You can share your results in a spoiler-free grid format. Of course, if you want to keep your secret, consider inputting a couple of fake guesses to throw off your friends.
Etymology of Today’s Word
The word 'joint' comes from the Old French term 'joindre,' meaning "to join." It evolved into a past participle before transitioning into Middle English as the word we use today.
