Wordle Answer Today: It’s that time again when Wordle enthusiasts from around the world take a stab at deciphering the day’s five-letter mystery. Tuesday, May 27 brought yet another deceptively simple challenge as puzzle #1438 landed in inboxes, prompting players to put their vocabulary – and strategic thinking – to the test.

Wordle, created by Josh Wardle and now owned by The New York Times, continues to be a global morning ritual for puzzle solvers. With just six attempts to uncover a single five-letter word, it's a test of both logic and word intuition. And let’s face it, even seasoned solvers sometimes hit a mental block.

If you found yourself staring blankly at your screen today, don’t worry — you weren’t alone. Fortunately, a few helpful clues may have nudged you in the right direction before the answer was officially revealed.

Hints That Point You in the Right Direction

As always, players who prefer a nudge over a spoiler were offered a handful of strategic clues to guide their guesses. For those chasing a long win streak or just wanting to crack the code solo, here’s what was shared:

  • The word relates to physical activity.
  • It begins with the letter S and ends with T.
  • Only one vowel makes an appearance.
  • There are no repeating letters — all five are unique.
  • If you started with “forts,” four letters would have lit up yellow — a promising start.

If that cocktail of clues still didn’t help you break through, the final section held the answer you were likely both dreading and eager to see.
