Wordle Answer Today (June 12): Today’s Puzzle Left Players Chasing Their Tails

Wordle Answer Today: The internet’s favourite brain-teasing ritual returned with another five-letter challenge on Thursday, June 12 — and this one had players scratching their heads until the final guess. If you're still wondering whether your streak is intact, or just desperate to find out what the word was, you're in the right place.

Simple rules, sneaky challenge

Wordle, the daily word puzzle that tests your vocabulary and deduction skills, follows a straightforward format. Players get six chances to guess a five-letter word. Each guess reveals colour-coded clues: green for correct letters in the right place, yellow for right letters in the wrong spot, and grey for letters not in the word at all.

Despite its simplicity, Wordle has a notorious reputation for throwing curveballs, and today’s word was no exception.

Today's hints led to a cunning creature

For those needing a gentle nudge, clues for today’s Wordle pointed towards an animal — specifically, a fox. The word began with the letter V, ended with an N, and featured two vowels. Adding to the complexity: all five letters were unique, with no repeats to latch onto.

Those who tried the word "naive" as a starter would have seen four letters light up in yellow — a tantalising near miss that only deepened the intrigue.

And the final answer?

The Wordle answer for June 12 is...

VIXEN

For those unaware, a vixen is a female fox.

If you nailed it in fewer than six tries, congratulations — that was no easy feat. If not, don’t worry — the streak may reset, but the fun never stops. With each new day comes another chance to outsmart the grid and sharpen those wordplay muscles.

So rest up, Wordlers. Tomorrow’s puzzle is just around the corner.
