Today’s Wordle Puzzle

Spoiler-Free Hints

Work through these one at a time and stop when it clicks.

1. The basics: The word has two vowels, and no letter appears twice.
2. First letter: It starts with D.
3. Last letter: It ends with a vowel.
4. The vibe: Think of a playful put-down for someone who is slow to learn or makes a foolish mistake.
5. Classroom clue: The word has old links to a pointed cap once used to punish students.

Solving Tip

When the hints give you a first letter and a vowel count, build your guess around the middle consonants. Fewer common five-letter words follow a “D _ _ _ E” pattern, so locking in the start and end quickly narrows your options. Avoid wasting a guess on repeated letters, since the puzzle has none.

Today’s Wordle Answer

The answer to Wordle #1944 is DUNCE.

A dunce is a person regarded as unintelligent or slow to learn. According to IBTimes, players averaged about 4.3 guesses on this puzzle, a bit more than the day before, so don’t feel bad if it took a few tries.

How Did You Do?

If you solved it in three or fewer, you did great. If you needed all six, you still kept your streak alive, and that’s what counts.
