Good morning, puzzle enthusiasts! Another day, another Wordle. I hope everyone’s ready to flex those linguistic muscles and unravel today’s five-letter mystery. Speaking of mysteries, remember yesterday’s head-scratcher? You can find the solution and discussion about Wordle 1404 right here (link to previous article), but let’s focus on the present, shall we?
Today is April 24, 2025, and we’re tackling Wordle number 1405. Let’s see if we can summon the right answer with a little bit of wordplay magic.
Having trouble cracking the code? Don’t worry, I’m here to help. Here are a few clues to point you in the right direction without giving the whole game away:
- This word contains two vowels.
- There are no repeating letters in this word.
- The word starts with the letter G and ends with the letter E.
- Think of someone or something that grants wishes.
Still pondering? Okay, I’ll put you out of your misery. The answer to Wordle 1405 for April 24, 2025 is… GENIE!
A genie (also spelled *djinn
- or *jinni*, depending on the tradition) is a supernatural creature in Islamic folklore, often depicted as being trapped within a bottle or lamp and granting wishes to whoever possesses it. The word ultimately derives from the Arabic *jinn*, meaning “spirit” or “demon.” Think *Aladdin* or the more mischievous beings found in older tales.
I felt today’s Wordle was of medium difficulty. The “G” and “E” as the first and last letters narrowed things down considerably. However, finding the vowels and the central consonants took a bit of trial and error.
My first guess was “GREAT,” which gave me the “E” in the correct spot, and “G” in the word. After that, I shuffled things around a bit. My second guess was “GLIDE,” revealing the “I”. It wasn’t long after that, I tried GENIE, and that was the correct answer.
I managed to solve Wordle 1405 in three guesses today. How did you fare? Let me know in the comments below! I’m always curious to see how others approach the puzzle and how many tries it took them.
