Good morning, Wordle enthusiasts! Hope your day is off to a cracking start, and that you’re ready to exercise those brain cells. Nothing quite like a daily word puzzle to get the mental cogs turning, right?
Today, we’re tackling Wordle #1426, dated May 15, 2025. As always, the aim of the game is to crack the code in six attempts or less. For those just joining in, or for a quick refresher, you can check out yesterday’s puzzle here.
Let’s see if we can get you closer to today’s solution without giving the game away completely. Here are some clues to help you on your quest:
- The word contains two vowels.
- There are no repeating letters in the word.
- The word begins with the letter ‘E’ and ends with the letter ‘R’.
- The word can describe someone who is very keen and enthusiastic about something.
Think carefully, and consider the position of the vowels. This might give you the edge you need!
Ready for the answer? Here it is:
The solution to Wordle 1426 for May 15, 2025, is: EAGER
So, what does ‘EAGER’ mean, exactly? According to the dictionary, ‘eager’ means “wanting to do or have something very much”. Its etymology traces back through Old French to Latin roots signifying sharpness or intensity.
Was today’s word tricky? I felt it was moderately challenging. The ending “ER” is quite common, and the inclusion of the ‘E’ provided a good starting point. I started with a common word with lots of vowels, which, unfortunately, only revealed the ‘E’. From there, after several attempts to place the vowels and consonants, I was fortunate enough to land on EAGER.
My first guess wasn’t particularly helpful. It took me until the fourth attempt to really start to get close, and then a few more to finally figure out the placement of all the letters. Luckily, I got there in five tries!
