Wordle July 15, 2026: Hints & Answer (#1,852)

edited by Tracy Bennett.

Recap

The answer to Wordle #1852 was PSHAW. Solvers had a moderately challenging time figuring it out, with many needing a couple of attempts to get it right. The word's somewhat archaic nature may have added to the difficulty.

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 mix of consonants and vowels, with no obvious repeated letters. It doesn't end in a common suffix, but has a somewhat unusual letter combination.

  2. How the vowels sat

    There is more than one vowel, but they are not clustered at the start or end. The vowels appear in a fairly balanced spread across the letters.

  3. Word facts

About Wordle #1,852

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 Wednesday, July 15, 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.
