Okay, time to reveal the answer. The solution to Wordle 1487 for July 15, 2025 is… FOIST.

Definition: To “foist” means to impose an unwelcome or unnecessary person or thing on someone. It also means to pass off something as genuine or valuable when it is not.

The word *foist* comes from the Dutch word “vuisten,” meaning “to take in hand, to seize.” It was originally used in the context of con artists palming dice to cheat at gambling. So, quite a colorful history!

What made *FOIST* difficult? Well, the combination of vowels and the less common “F” at the beginning might have tripped some people up. The “OI” digraph is also fairly common, but can be easily overlooked.

Personally, I had a bit of a struggle with this one. My first guess was completely off the mark, yielding no correct letters. I then tried a word with more common vowels. That gave me the “I” and the “T.” After that, the “F” came to me, along with the realization that “OI” was likely the vowel pair. After some consideration of alternatives ending in -FT and -IST, FOIST was my next guess and that got it. So, a lucky deduction!

It took me *four* guesses to crack today’s Wordle. How did you do? Let me know in the comments below! Did you find it easy, challenging, or somewhere in between? Share your strategies and your guess count for Wordle 1487 on July 15, 2025.
