Wordle Answer Today (May 14): Getting Stuck? Here Are Tips & Clues To Get You Into The Right Rhythm

At its core, Wordle remains a beautifully simple puzzle: six guesses to uncover a five-letter word.

Wordle Answer Today: Guessing today’s Wordle had many scratching their heads — but if you were thinking musically, you might've had an edge. For players chasing that all-important streak or just enjoying the mental exercise, the puzzle for Wednesday, May 14 (#1425) served up a percussive little twist.

Wordle's Timeless Charm

At its core, Wordle remains a beautifully simple puzzle: six guesses to uncover a five-letter word. Each guess helps shape your next move — with green showing correct placement, yellow indicating the right letter in the wrong spot, and grey meaning it’s out of the mix.

Some days are smooth, others less so — but guides like this are always here to help you keep that hard-earned win streak alive. So whether you hit “bongo” on guess two or just squeaked through on your sixth, you’re still in the game — and that’s what counts.

Hints That Hit the Right Note

Wordle players love a challenge, and today’s clues certainly gave them one. The word began with a B and ended with an O — already narrowing things down to a select group of words. On top of that, there were two vowels in the mix, and the word featured four unique letters. Tricky, right?

The final nudge came with a musical clue: “Today’s word is a type of drum.” That alone might’ve been the giveaway for seasoned puzzle solvers with a musical bent. And for those testing the waters with strategic guesses, using "obang" as a starter gave four yellow tiles — a helpful boost.

What Is Today’s Wordle Answer?

If you’re ready for the reveal, here it is. The Wordle answer for May 14 is: BONGO

A bongo is a type of drum that became popular in Cuba. It typically comes in a pair — a smaller drum called the "macho" and a larger one called the "hembra." Known for its crisp, high-pitched sounds, the bongo drum plays a major role in Afro-Cuban and Latin American music.
