Wordle Hints Today — September 7, 2026
Stuck on today's Wordle? This page has six spoiler-free hints for puzzle #1906, revealed one at a time. Tap each one only when you're ready, and go back to the game after.

Wordle Hints Today
Each hint below builds on the one before it — start with Hint 1 and only go further if you're still stuck. By the last hint or two, the clues get specific enough to basically hand you the word, so pace yourself.
How Many Vowels Are in Today's Wordle
Vowel count is one of the fastest Wordle filters. Five-letter words usually carry one to four vowels, so knowing the exact number tells you how much to lean on vowels versus consonants.
Wordle Starting Letter Today
Not every letter starts words at the same rate — S, C, and R lead far more five-letter words than most. Knowing the starting letter rules out a big chunk of the alphabet instantly.
Wordle Last Letter Today
The last letter often reveals the word's structure — endings like -Y, -ER, -AL, or -ED are common. Once you know it, you can think in word families instead of single letters.
Does Today's Wordle Have a Repeated Letter
About 1 in 7 Wordle answers repeat a letter — an easy thing to forget. Missing it often means wasting a guess on a "new" letter that was never there.
Second Letter of Today's Wordle
Position two is one of the hardest letters to pin down through elimination alone. Once you have it, the list of possible words shrinks fast.
Wordle Meaning Hint
A definition taps vocabulary you already know instead of asking you to piece together a frame. It's the strongest hint here — save it for when the first five aren't enough.
Bonus Hint — Visual Clue
NEWA picture that points toward the answer. Only open this if all six hints above weren't enough.
Visual clue — puzzle #1906
A world with no light in it — or a date where you know nothing about who's showing up.
What Is Today's Wordle Answer
If the hints weren't enough, or you just want to confirm your guess, tap below to reveal today's answer.
Tap a tile to reveal just that letter, or show the whole word below.
BLIND — lacking or deficient in sight; unable to see. Also used figuratively, as in "blind to" a situation, or in phrases like "blind faith" and "blind date." The single vowel leaves four consonant positions to work out, so vowel-heavy guesses may reveal little of the word's structure.
The NYT tester score comes from a small group of paid testers who solve the puzzle before it goes live. The WordleBot scores come from all players worldwide. That's why the two numbers are often different — a small test group doesn't always match how millions of players perform.
How Hard Is Today's Wordle
NYT testers averaged 4.8 guesses. The single vowel leaves four consonant positions to work out, so vowel-heavy guesses may reveal little of the word's structure.
Why This Score
One vowel, no repeated letters.
NYT testers averaged 4.8 guesses. BLIND is a consonant-heavy word — four consonants and just one vowel — so vowel-testing openers like ADIEU or AUDIO give you very little to work with here. No repeats at least means every confirmed letter is genuinely new information, but the lopsided letter mix pushes this one past a straightforward Medium.
What Do the Difficulty Numbers Mean?
Wordle difficulty goes from 1 to 6 — the same as the number of guesses you're allowed. A score of 6 means the average player used all six tries. A score of 7 means they didn't solve it at all.
Very easy. Most players get it in one or two guesses.
Easy. Straightforward word, solved in three guesses by most.
Medium. An average puzzle. Most players finish in three or four tries.
Medium+. Fewer vowels or a repeated letter makes it trickier.
Hard. Unusual letter pattern. You really need a strong first guess here.
Very hard. Most players use every single guess they have.
Best Wordle Starting Words
Your first guess matters more than most players think. A good opener tests common vowels and consonants together, so you learn the most from a single guess. Here are the six words that work best.
Tests C, R, N, A, and E. The letter R shows up in more than one in four Wordle answers, so CRANE is a great first guess. WordleBot actually uses CRANE as its own starting word.
Covers S, L, T, A, and E — three of the most common consonants and the two most common vowels. One of the highest-rated openers in most scoring systems.
Works great as a second guess after CRANE. Together, CRANE + SAUCY cover a wide range of common letters in just two rows.
Same five strong letters as SLATE in a different order. Studies show STARE helps most players solve the puzzle in under four guesses on average.
Tests four vowels at once. Great if you want to find out where the vowels sit early. It won't tell you much about consonants, but it rules out 60–70% of words in one guess.
Covers R, A, I, S, and E. The letter S appears in about one third of all Wordle answers, making RAISE a reliable and information-rich opener.
How to Pick a Good Second Word
Your second guess should use completely different letters from your first. Don't repeat any letter you already tested — that wastes a guess.
If you opened with one of the words above, try PHONY as your second guess. It's a strong follow-up because Y is one of the most common letters in the fifth position. PHONY covers P, H, O, N, and Y — none of which appear in CRANE or SLATE.
If your first guess gave you nothing — no green or yellow tiles at all — try ROUND or CHIMP next. Both cover fresh letters and give you a lot of new information to work with.
Quick Strategy Tips
- Your first guess is about letters, not the answer. Don't try to guess the word on row one. Just test five common letters and see what comes back.
- Never use a grey letter again. If a tile goes grey, that letter is not in the word. Using it again on a later guess is a wasted turn.
- Move yellow letters to a new spot. A yellow tile means the letter is in the word, just not where you put it. Try a different position next time.
- Think about word endings when you have a few letters. Patterns like -IGHT, -OUND, -ATCH, and -URN can help you close in on the answer much faster than guessing one letter at a time.
- Use a "splitting" guess when you're stuck between options. If you have two or three possible answers left, try a word that tells you which one is right — even if that word isn't the answer itself. It saves you from guessing randomly.
- Look for repeated letters if four letters are confirmed but nothing clicks. About one in seven Wordle answers repeat a letter. Words like CURRY or ALIBI are good examples. If you feel stuck with four letters locked in, the fifth might just be a repeat of one you already have.
Common Patterns to Look Out For
About 15% of Wordle answers have a repeated letter. Words like SPEED, GRASS, and CURRY all double up on a letter. If you've confirmed four letters but the word still isn't coming together, try doubling one of the letters you already found.
Also watch for letter pairs like CH, PH, and QU. They show up more often than you'd expect and can save you a guess if you test for them early.
One useful thing to know: the NYT assigned an editor named Tracy Bennett in 2022 to clean up the Wordle answer list. She removed very obscure and offensive words. So if a word feels very unusual or hard to define, it probably isn't today's answer.

Missed yesterday's puzzle? The clues come first so the answer isn't spoiled if you're in a different time zone and haven't played yet.
Yesterday's Hints
Four clues for puzzle #1905. Read them before scrolling to the answer.
Yesterday's word had 3 vowels, with one letter repeating.
It started with B and ended with E. The frame was B _ _ _ E.

Yesterday's Difficulty Scores
Yesterday's puzzle was the toughest of the week — the repeated E in BEIGE (once right after the B, once at the very end) tripped up most solvers, since landing on the letter once doesn't reveal it belongs in two spots.

How to Play Wordle
New to Wordle? You'll pick it up fast — it's simple to learn, just takes a bit of practice to get good at. Here's everything you need to get started.
Open the daily puzzle
Go to The New York Times website and open Wordle. A new puzzle comes out every day at midnight in your local time. Every player in the world gets the same word — so you can compare your result with friends without spoiling it.
Type your first guess
Enter any real five-letter word. A word like CRANE, SLATE, or STARE is a good choice because it tests the most common letters right away. You can also make a free NYT account to save your streak.
Read the colored tiles
After each guess, the tiles change color. Green means the letter is in the right place. Yellow means the letter is in the word but in the wrong spot. Grey means the letter is not in the word at all. Some words repeat a letter — like HIPPO or CURRY.
Use what you learned
Keep green letters where they are. Move yellow letters to a new spot. Don't use grey letters again. Every guess should use what the tiles have told you so far.
Solve it in six tries
You get six guesses. Most players who think carefully finish in three or four. The key is to cut down your options with every guess — not to get lucky.
Share your result
When you finish, Wordle gives you a colored grid to share. The squares show how you got there without giving away the letters — so your friends can see your score without being spoiled.
What the Colors Mean
Green
Right letter, right place. Keep it there in all your future guesses.
Yellow
Right letter, wrong place. Move it to a different spot in your next guess.
Grey
This letter is not in the word. Don't use it again.

NYT Connections
You get 16 words and have to sort them into four groups of four. Each group shares something in common. It sounds simple — but the links can be tricky to spot.
NYT Strands
A word search inside a 6×8 grid where you have to use every single letter on the board. Each puzzle has a hidden theme and a special "spangram" word that stretches across the whole grid.
Multi-Word Wordle Games
Dordle
Solve two five-letter words at the same time using the same guesses. A free unlimited mode lets you keep playing after the daily puzzle.

Four Wordle boards at once, solved with the same set of guesses. Much harder than Dordle and a real test of how well you read tile feedback.
Octordle
Eight five-letter words solved in 13 guesses. The same guess applies to all eight boards at once — reading all that feedback is half the challenge.
Sedecordle
Sixteen Wordle puzzles at once with 21 guesses. The hardest version of the format — and the one where a strong opening word matters most.
