Wordle today: Clues and hints for January 15, 2025

Wordle, the five-letter word puzzle that has become a global sensation, challenges players to solve its daily riddle within six attempts. Developed by Josh Wardle, the game combines simplicity and strategy, offering color-coded feedback with each guess: green tiles show correct letters in the correct spots, yellow tiles indicate correct letters in the wrong spots, and gray tiles identify letters not in the word.

If today’s puzzle has you stuck, we’ve got some clues to help you solve it. Still unsure? The solution is revealed below.

Wordle began as a personal project created by engineer Josh Wardle for his partner. Its popularity skyrocketed after its public release, leading to its acquisition by The New York Times in early 2022. The game inspired a range of spin-offs, including Squabble, Heardle, Dordle, and others.

Unlike many online games, Wordle doesn’t require an app download. It is ad-free and can be played directly in your browser via the New York Times Games website.

In Wordle, players guess a new five-letter word every day. The rules are straightforward:

• You have six attempts to guess the word.

• Letters turn green if they are correct and in the right position.

• Letters turn yellow if they are correct but in the wrong position.

• Gray tiles mean the letter is not in the word.

• The answer is never a plural, and letters may appear more than once.

The game tracks your progress, including win streaks and performance statistics, making it all the more engaging.

Here are a few hints to help you out with today’s Wordle:

• Clue #1: It’s a noun.

• Clue #2: The word contains one vowel.

• Clue #3: It begins with the letter ‘K.’

• Clue #4: No letters are repeated.
