This is yesterday's Wordle puzzle (November 4, 2026). See today's Wordle puzzle.
Wednesday morning, and your streak is staring back at you from the top of the grid, daring you to keep it alive with one more clever guess, that is where yesterday's wordle answer begins. It comes from Josh Wardle's five-letter game at the New York Times, a word you have probably used to describe a friend acting silly or a snack with real character. Here is the wordle today at a glance: an adjective with one vowel, four consonants, and a doubled letter in the middle, plus an N start and a Y finish that frame the whole word. Open with a starter like TUNES to test the T, the U, and the N all at once, then work through the gentle wordle hints before you peek at the reveal. Keep your guesses patient, because the doubled letter looks simple until you try to place it. Scroll for yesterday's wordle hints, or jump straight to the wordle answer when you are ready. Whether you cracked it in two or needed all six, tomorrow brings a fresh wordle today puzzle to chase.

Yesterday's Wordle hints
Climb the ladder from the gentlest nudge to the strongest clue. No peeking at the next clue until you've given the current one a real try.
Yesterday's Wordle hint 1 Let us ease into itGentle
Yesterday's answer is an adjective you might use for a snack with a rich almond flavor, or for a friend acting a little silly.
Yesterday's Wordle hint 2 Let us narrow things downWarm
It has just one vowel and four consonants, with one letter doing double duty in the middle.
Yesterday's Wordle hint 3 Think about what it meansWarmer
Think of a flavor that reminds you of pecans or almonds, because that taste carries half the meaning.
Yesterday's Wordle hint 4 You are so close nowHot
It starts with N and ends with Y, so lock in the frame and hunt for the doubled letter in between.
Yesterday's Wordle hint 5 The final pushStrongest

What does yesterday's Wordle answer mean?
Reveal the meanings (contains spoilers)
The wordle answer today is NUTTY, an adjective with two everyday meanings that both feel instantly familiar. A snack can taste nutty when it carries the rich flavor of almonds or pecans, and a person can act nutty when they are being silly or a little eccentric, and that double life is exactly why it feels so obvious once it clicks. The trap is the doubled T sitting in the middle of a word with only one vowel. Most solvers lock in the N start and the Y finish early and then hunt for a second vowel or a harder consonant, because a single U looks too thin to carry the whole word. Once you accept that U is doing all the vowel work and the T is simply pulling double duty, the whole grid falls into place fast. What made the puzzle fair? The meaning is a word you already use in everyday speech, the starting and ending letters are both common, and the doubled letter is a pattern you have seen before. The New York Times review rates this one as moderate difficulty, with an average of 4.3 guesses, so if it took you a while, blame the sneaky middle, not your vocabulary.
How hard is yesterday's Wordle?
Difficulty: Medium
Open with TUNES if you want a first guess that tests the T, the U, and the N all at once. A starter with no N will leave the frame feeling loose, so pivot to the Y ending early and build inward from there. Keep one guess in reserve for the doubled letter, since that is the last piece most solvers place.

What is Wordle?
Wordle was created by Josh Wardle, a software engineer who built the Wordle game in 2021 as a personal gift for his partner, who loved word games. He released it to the public that October, and it spread almost entirely by word of mouth, with players sharing their little grids of colored squares on social media.
The New York Times bought Wordle in early 2022, and the Wordle New York Times puzzle has kept the same format ever since: one puzzle a day, the same word for everyone, which turned it into a shared daily ritual and a friendly competition among friends, families, and coworkers.
How do you play Wordle?
- You get six guesses to find a five-letter word. Type any valid five-letter English word and hit enter to submit it.
- Green means the letter is in the word and in the right spot. Lock those letters in and build your next guesses around them.
- Yellow means the letter is in the word but in the wrong spot. Move it somewhere new on your next guess.
- Gray means the letter is not in the word at all. Cross those letters off and don't spend another guess on them.
- Everyone gets the same Wordle of the day, and it resets at midnight. If you run out of guesses, you'll have to wait for tomorrow's word.
What are the best Wordle strategies?
- Open with common letters: pick a starter packed with everyday vowels and consonants like A, E, R, S, and T so your first guess covers the most ground.
- Never replay a gray: once a letter comes back gray it's out for good, so don't waste a guess on a word that uses it again.
- Move your yellows: a yellow letter is a confirmed hit, so shuffle it into a new position instead of guessing fresh letters blindly.
- Think before you burn guesses: when you already have two or three greens, pause and brainstorm matching words in your head rather than throwing in random tries.
- Play by hard mode rules even with it off: always reposition your yellows and never reuse grays, since that discipline alone wins most days.

Frequently asked questions
What time does Wordle reset?
Wordle resets at midnight in your local time zone. Everyone in the world gets the same daily word.
What do the green, yellow, and gray tiles mean?
Green means the letter is correct and in the right spot. Yellow means the letter is in the word but in the wrong spot. Gray means the letter is not in the answer (or you used it more times than it appears).
Can I play yesterday's Wordle?
The official game only offers the current day's puzzle. Our archive section below lists recent answers so you can look back at past solutions.
Does Wordle have a hard mode?
Yes. In hard mode, any revealed green or yellow letters must be reused in your subsequent guesses.
Is Wordle free to play?
Yes. The daily Wordle puzzle is free on the New York Times website and in the NYT Games app, and you don't need a subscription to play it. Just open the page, make your six guesses, and come back tomorrow for a fresh Wordle answer.
