Today's Wordle answer — hints to help you solve it
Our first tip is that you should use one of the best Wordle start words for every game you play. But if you want some more specific clues to today's Wordle answer, then here you go:
It contains two of the five vowels,* there are no repeated characters, and it features one of the five most common Wordle letters.
* By vowel, we mean A, E, I, O, U. There are other letters that are sometimes considered to be vowels, depending on how they are used.
Those hints should get you at least some of the way towards finding today's Wordle answer. If not, then you can read on for bigger clues; or, if you just want to know the answer, then skip down further for that.
What does today's Wordle start with?
The answer to Wordle #1,907 starts with L, so combined with the hints above you should now have all the clues you need to get the answer and not break a Wordle streak.
OK, it's now time to scroll down for the answer…
Today's Wordle answer
So, what is today's Wordle answer for game #1,907?
Drumroll, please — it's LIVEN.
Hello Wordlers. Even though LIVEN contains four of the ten most common Wordle letters, it's a fiddly one to pin down.
My usual starter of ORATE only turned 'E' yellow, leaving a massive 192 possible answers in play, according to WordleBot.
Naturally, the Bot's best Wordle start words were far more effective. LEAPS leaves 27 answers, while PLANE lowers that to 18. If you opened with LANCE, just four options would remain viable.
I try and play as many of 'L', 'I', 'S', 'N' and 'C' as I can on my second turn, and today I could test four of them with LINES.
To my delight, it gave me three green letters ('L', 'I' and 'E') and one yellow ('N') proving the answer had to be LI?EN.
Going through all my remaining characters, I could see the only two remaining options: LIKEN and LIVEN.
That was a coin flip, but in the end, I opted for the former as it seemed a slightly more likely answer.
I was mistaken. It was not LIKEN, so I subbed out 'K' for 'V' to spell LIVEN and took the four-turn win.
Hopefully you did well today, Wordlers. See you tomorrow.
Yesterday's Wordle answer
Reading this in a later time zone? Here are clues and the solution to the previous puzzle.
- It contains one of the five vowels
- There are no repeated characters
- It doesn't feature any of the five most common Wordle letters
The answer to Wordle #1,906 starts with B, so combined with the hints above you should now have all the clues you need to get the answer and not break a Wordle streak.
OK, it's now time to scroll down for the answer…
The Wordle answer for game #1,906 was... BLIND.
Hello Wordlers. Although today's puzzle doesn't contain any of the five most common Wordle letters, it does feature three from the top ten.
Still, that meant my opener of ORATE turned up nothing, leaving a massive 253 options, according to WordleBot.
The Bot's best Wordle start words were far more effective. LANCE leaves 25 answers, while PLANS lowers that to 16. If you opened with BLOND, only three viable answers would remain.
I usually try and play as many of 'L', 'I', 'S', 'N' and 'C' as I can on my second turn, but when nothing turns up in the first round, I prioritize both my remaining vowels. That makes MUSIC a good choice.
Today, it only turned 'I' yellow, leaving 37 possible answers.
I looked again at my letter hit list, and saw I still wanted to try 'L' and 'N'. That made BLINK a sensible choice.
It was enormously effective. Every character bar 'K' went green, leaving just two options.
Fortunately, I picked the right one, typing in BLIND rather than BLING, which gave me a four-turn win.
Hopefully you did well today, Wordlers. See you tomorrow.

If you're eager for another game to pass the time while you wait, we've put together a list of the best Wordle alternatives. We also have a page on today's Quordle answers, because it's our favorite.
Other Wordle alternatives to try are the ultra-stressful (but very good) Squabble and the soccer-themed, Who Are Ya?. We also like the geography-based Wordle clone Worldle, the Star Wars-themed SWordle and the math-based Mathler.
There are certainly plenty of options once you've finished Wordle for the day!
Wordle tips — how to win at Wordle
The best tip I can give is to use one of the best Wordle start words. I can't stress this enough — it makes a massive difference.
Without one, you'll be scrabbling around in the dark trying (and possibly failing) to find the right five letters (or possibly fewer) out of the 26 possibles. But clever people (not me) have done the math and identified the best start words based on both frequency in English and frequency among Wordle answers. So use them!
Secondly, think about combinations, especially at the start and end. Some options are far more common than others — for instance, SH, ST, CR and CH all feature frequently.
Vowels obviously need consideration too: not all Wordle answers will contain more than one, but plenty do, and some even have three. A good Wordle start word should have used a couple, but if they don't feature you might well want to try another one or two on your next go. Plus, remember the Y — this sometimes acts as a surrogate vowel, and is easy to forget. It also appears at the end of plenty of words.
Finally, try out possibilities. So long as you don't press 'Enter' you can try possible answers to see how they look on screen. Put in likely letters plus any you know are definitely in the word, then mentally change one to the other available options. This technique has worked for me multiple times, and it's particularly helpful when the word in question is not an obvious one (like FJORD or ISLET).
But if you're still struggling with Wordle, check out how Tom's Guide's Wordle experts have honed their strategy after playing every Wordle so far and losing only once.

What else should I know about Wordle?
Wordle officially launched in October 2021, but actually started in June of that year and celebrated its first birthday on June 19, 2022. (You can read my thoughts on the 5 things Wordle needs to improve if it's to keep us playing for its third year.)
However, it only grew in popularity towards the end of the year, then went viral in January as the world woke up to its charms. In fact, it proved so successful that The New York Times bought Wordle for a seven-figure sum in early February and the game is now part of NYT Games.
It's played via the NYT Games website here, and is entirely free. Both the NYT and the game's creator, Josh Wardle, have stated that it will remain free. Some people think that Wordle has got harder since the NYT takeover, but it really hasn't.
Wordle is a simple game in which your challenge is to guess a five-letter word in six attempts. Each time you guess, you're told which of your chosen letters are in the target word, and whether they are in the right place.
If a letter is in the correct place, it turns green. If it's in the word but in the wrong place, it turns yellow. And if it's not in the word at all, it turns gray.
There's just one puzzle a day, and everyone completes the same one. It resets at midnight each day. You'll find more information about the game in our What is Wordle? article.
