Wordle Answer Today (May 30): Stumbling? Getting Stuck? Here Are Hints & Tips To Help

Wordle Answer Today: For those caught in the daily Wordle whirlpool and clinging to their streaks like prized trophies, puzzle #1441 may have thrown a curveball. If you’ve been staring at five blank boxes this morning, wondering what common English word is hiding behind them, worry not — we’ve got the clues and the solution. Spoiler alert: this one's all about language lovers.

A Game of Wits and Words

Wordle, the viral word puzzle by The New York Times, continues to stretch vocabularies and challenge logic daily. With just six guesses to identify a five-letter word, every move counts. Coloured tiles are your lifelines: green means the letter’s in the correct position, yellow means it’s in the word but misplaced, and grey signals it’s not in the solution at all.

Despite sounding simple, Wordle can stump even seasoned solvers — which is where strategy comes in. Savvy players often rely on vowel-rich opening words like “AISLE,” “SALTY,” or “DINER” to eliminate options early. Others track letter colours obsessively or use NYT’s Wordlebot to get better at guessing and compare tactics.

If you’ve made it this far, you’re probably looking for a gentle nudge (or a full-on cheat). Here's what we know about today's word, dated Friday, May 30, 2025:

  • It contains two vowels, and one of them is repeated.
  • It begins with the letter “I”.
  • There are double letters involved.

That blank is your answer.

Drumroll, please — the answer to today’s Wordle is IDIOM.

That’s right. The five-letter word hiding behind the coloured tiles today is one we use every day, even if we don’t think of it often. An idiom is a phrase whose meaning isn’t obvious from the literal words — and today, it’s also the secret to keeping your Wordle streak alive.

So whether you nailed it in three tries or needed all six, at least you learned (or were reminded of) a word that’s at the heart of quirky English expressions. And if today didn’t go your way? Tomorrow’s another Wordle.
