Wordle hints (game #1907) - clue #1 - Vowels
How many vowels does today's Wordle have?
• Wordle today has vowels in two places*.
* Note that by vowel we mean the five standard vowels (A, E, I, O, U), not Y (which is sometimes counted as a vowel too).
Wordle hints (game #1907) - clue #2 - first letter
What letter does today's Wordle begin with?
• The first letter in today's Wordle answer is L.
L is a surprisingly uncommon starting letter in Wordle. Despite being the sixth most common letter overall, it's only ranked 12th at the beginning of a word.
Wordle hints (game #1907) - clue #3 - repeated letters
Does today's Wordle have any repeated letters?
• There are no repeated letters in today's Wordle.
Repeated letters are quite common in the game, with 748 of the 2,309 Wordle answers containing one. However, it's still more likely that a Wordle doesn't have one.
Wordle hints (game #1907) - clue #4 - ending letter
What letter does today's Wordle end with?
• The last letter in today's Wordle is N.
N is a pretty common ending letter in Wordle: it's the seventh most likely in that position and features in 130 solutions.

Today's Wordle answer (game #1907)
- NYT average score: 4.3
- My score: 4
- WordleBot's score: 3
- My skill score: 99
- My luck score: 49
- My start word performance: SANER (32 remaining answers)
- WordleBot's start word performance: SLATE (98)
- Tomorrow's start word: SANER
Today's Wordle answer (game #1907) is… LIVEN.
The NYT's additional words are coming thick and fast now — we're only eight days into September and we've already had four more of them, following seven in August. LIVEN joins RUNNY, CAPON, TWEEN, INTEL, REMIX, SOUPY and BEIGE as additions within the past few weeks, and it's fair to say that against that list it's a relatively straightforward word.
Not necessarily an easy one, though — or at least not based on its average score of 4.3. The problem is again one of there being too many similarly spelled alternatives, with today's primary red herrings being LIKEN, LINEN, LINER, LINED and GIVEN.
It was the latter that cost me a guess, which was frustrating given that DIVOT was perfectly chosen as my second attempt and did exactly what I'd wanted it to in confirming a couple of green letters and leaving me with a very small pool of possible answers.
Specifically, I had two: GIVEN and LIVEN. Unfortunately, for the second day in a row I picked the wrong one, although at least with this game I still managed to beat the average, even if not the 'Bot.
Yesterday's Wordle hints (game #1906)
In a different time zone where it's still Monday? Don't worry — I can give you some clues for Wordle #1906, too.
- Wordle yesterday had a vowel in one place*
* Note that by vowel we mean the five standard vowels (A, E, I, O, U), not Y (which is sometimes counted as a vowel too).
- The first letter in yesterday's Wordle answer was B.
B is a very, very common starting letter in Wordle. In fact, it's the third most common overall, behind only S and C.
- There were no repeated letters in yesterday's Wordle.
Repeated letters are quite common in the game, with 748 of the 2,309 Wordle answers containing one. However, it's still more likely that a Wordle doesn't have one.
- The last letter in yesterday's Wordle was D.
D is a fairly common letter to end a Wordle answer: it's the eighth most likely to be in that position in a solution.

- Yesterday's Wordle answer cannot see.
Yesterday's Wordle answer (game #1906)
- NYT average score: 3.7
- My score: 5
- WordleBot's score: 3
- My skill score: 99
- My luck score: 25
- My start word performance: SANER (86 remaining answers)
- WordleBot's start word performance: SLATE (50)
- Tomorrow's start word: SANER
Yesterday's Wordle answer (game #1906) was… BLIND.
A 5 is rarely a welcome score in Wordle, but yesterday at least I could hold my head up and take strength from the fact that I really couldn't have done much more to have beat that. My WordleBot-assigned skill and luck scores tell the story of my game: full marks, 99, for skill but a mere 25 for luck.
Truth be told, the board looks worse than it is, although that's irrelevant given that the score is what it is. However, it was of those games were I ended up with a 50/50 on the fourth guess and picked incorrectly, so finished with a 5 rather than the 4 that I could just have easily have got.
BLIND shouldn't be a terribly difficult Wordle for most people, but it does suffer from the too-many-options problem that is never more than a few days away in this game. After all, change the D at the end and you can also make BLINK and BLING, change the I in the middle and you have BLAND, BLEND and BLOND. Or you may have been missing a couple of letters and have instead played the likes of FLING, CLING, GRIND or CLING, as many others did today.
I played CLING on the third guess, but at that stage of the game I still had a dozen options, so wasn't expecting it to be right. Instead, I hoped it would narrow down the field to just one, but unfortunately it left a duo of BLIND and BLINK. On another day I might have escaped with a 4, then, but here I had to settle for my first truly poor result in about 3 weeks.

What is Wordle?
If you're on this page then you almost certainly know what Wordle is already, and indeed have probably been playing it for a while. And even if you've not been playing it, you must surely have heard of it by now, because it's the viral word game phenomenon that took the world by storm in 2022 and is still going strong in 2026.
We've got a full guide to the game in our What is Wordle page, but if you just want a refresher then here are the basics.
What is Wordle?
Wordle challenges you to guess a new five-letter word each day. You get six guesses, with each one revealing a little more information. If one of the letters in your guess is in the answer and in the right place, it turns green. If it's in the answer but in the wrong place, it turns yellow. And if it's not in the answer at all it turns gray. Simple, eh?
It's played online via the Wordle website or the New York Times' Games app (iOS / Android), and is entirely free.
Crucially, the answer is the same for everyone each day, meaning that you're competing against the rest of the world, rather than just against yourself or the game. The puzzle then resets each day at midnight in your local time, giving you a new challenge, and the chance to extend your streak.
What are the Wordle rules?
The rules of Wordle are pretty straightforward, but with a couple of curveballs thrown in for good measure.
1. Letters that are in the answer and in the right place turn green.
2. Letters that are in the answer but in the wrong place turn yellow.
3. Letters that are not in the answer turn gray.
4a. Answers are never plural.
4b. …unless they are. There have been a couple of plural words that don't end in an S or ES, including FUNGI (game #439), ATRIA (#1478) and TEETH (#1551). But S and ES plurals are definitely outlawed.
5. Letters can appear more than once. So if your guess includes two of one letter, they may both turn yellow, both turn green, or one could be yellow and the other green.
6. Each guess must be a valid word in Wordle's dictionary. You can't guess ABCDE, for instance.
7. You do not have to include correct letters in subsequent guesses unless you play on Hard mode.
8. You have six guesses to solve the Wordle.
9. You must complete the daily Wordle before midnight in your timezone.
10a. All answers are drawn from Wordle's list of 2,309 solutions…
10b. …unless they are not. That's because the NYT has added in some of its own words which weren't in that list of 2,309 solutions. More will undoubtedly come over the next few years.
10c. Plus, the NYT has now started repeating answers that have already appeared in Wordle. We have no idea how often it will do this, so you'll need to be on your guard.
11. Wordle will accept a wider pool of words as guesses – some 10,000 of them. For instance, you can guess a plural such as WORDS. It definitely won't be right (see point 4a above), but Wordle will accept it as a guess.
