Wordle Answer Today (May 12): Not Able To Solve? Here Are Hints, Tips, Clues & Solution
Nearly four years on from its viral pandemic-fueled fame, Wordle continues to hold millions in its clever five-letter grip.
Fans of The New York Times’ addictive daily word puzzle were in for a relatively breezy ride today as puzzle #1423 offered just enough challenge to keep things interesting, without pushing players into meltdown mode. If you’ve been scratching your head or simply want to check if your guess hit the mark, we’ve got everything you need to know about today’s Wordle for May 12, 2025. But fair warning — spoilers ahead!
How Wordle Still Has Us Hooked
Nearly four years on from its viral pandemic-fueled fame, Wordle continues to hold millions in its clever five-letter grip. The rules remain simple yet deceptively strategic: you get six tries to guess the word of the day. Colour-coded clues (green for correct placement, yellow for correct letter but wrong spot, and grey for no match) guide your way to victory.
Its lasting popularity? Likely a mix of daily habit, social media bragging rights, and the genuine dopamine hit of solving a mini-puzzle before breakfast. As always, even regular players need a few tricks up their sleeves.
Quick Strategy Tips for Wordle Success
Getting that golden five-letter answer doesn’t happen by luck alone. Many seasoned solvers swear by smart opening words that cover a range of vowels and common consonants. Words like AISLE, SALTY, or DINER offer a great start.
Don’t forget to track your colour clues carefully. Eliminating incorrect letters and isolating vowels early can narrow down your choices fast. Also, don’t shy away from guesses with repeating letters — even if today’s word didn’t have any.
And for those looking to up their game, the NYT Wordlebot is a great tool to analyse and learn from past guesses.
Clues That Point to Power
Still stuck on today’s puzzle? Let’s break down the essential hints:
- Vowels in the mix? Yes, today’s word has two.
- Any double letters? None at all.
- First letter? It starts with a bold “B.”
- Need an extra nudge? Think of the counterpart to the triceps — that’s your big clue.
And with that muscle-bound hint in mind, the answer should come to you...
