edited by Tracy Bennett.

Recap

The answer to Wordle #1851 was STEAK. Solvers had a great run, guessing it quickly. The word's common usage and simple pattern made it accessible to many, leading to a high success rate.

Wordle hints, one rung at a time

Five rungs, softest first. The recap above already named the word, so this ladder is here for anyone replaying the puzzle fresh rather than as a spoiler shield.

  1. The shape of the word

    No letters of the answer are spelled out.

    The word has a fairly common sequence with one letter appearing twice, and ends in a strong consonant sound, not often seen in English.

  2. How the vowels sat

    There are two vowels in the answer, one near the start and the other roughly in the middle.

  3. Word facts

    Counted off the answer.

About Wordle #1,851

The number above is the count of days since Wordle launched on 19 June 2021, which is what the share grid prints — not the internal id the puzzle data carries. TodayHint reads it off the stored row for Tuesday, July 14, 2026 rather than adding one to the previous page, so a date we never fetched can never shift every number that follows it.

Everyone who played this puzzle saw the same word, wherever they were: the board rolls over at local midnight, so a solver in Auckland met it well before one in Los Angeles, but never a different answer. Six guesses, no timer, and the only feedback is the colours — green for a letter in the right place, yellow for a letter in the wrong one, grey for a letter that is not there at all. The rungs above rebuild that information in order, so this page can still be played as a puzzle rather than read as a result.
