If today’s Wordle had you staring blankly at your screen while your coffee went cold, don’t worry — you’re not alone. Puzzle #1388, the Monday April 7 edition of the globally loved word game, had just the right mix of simplicity and slyness to trip up even seasoned solvers. But fear not, we've broken it down for you with hints, clues, and of course, the answer (if you're ready to peek).

How Wordle Works, in Case You're New Here

For the uninitiated, Wordle is a daily brain teaser that asks you to guess a five-letter word in six tries or fewer. Sounds easy, right? Not quite. Each guess gives you colour-coded feedback: green for correct letters in the right spot, yellow for correct letters in the wrong spot, and grey if the letter isn’t in the word at all.

The challenge lies in making each guess count and decoding the word with minimal information — unless you don’t mind a little help now and then.

Today’s Tricky Clues: Did You Catch Them All?

Let’s be honest — today’s Wordle wasn’t a total curveball, but it wasn’t a breeze either. Here’s what the clues looked like:

• The mystery word starts with the letter H.
• It ends with L.
• It includes two vowels.
• No repeated letters, just five distinct characters.
• The word is associated with a shade of brown.

A helpful nudge? Try the starter word “whale” — you’d get four yellow letters. That should’ve put you on the right track.
