NYT Wordle Answer Today #1482 July 10, 2025 Today's Wordle Answer #1482

Welcome to today’s breakdown of Wordle puzzle number 1482, dated July 10, 2025. I found today’s puzzle to be a delightful challenge, requiring a bit of thought beyond the usual common letters. Let’s dive into how you might have approached it.

Before we reveal the solution, here are some hints I considered that helped me narrow down the possibilities:

  • The word contains only one distinct vowel.
  • There are no repeated letters in today’s word.
  • It starts with a less common consonant and ends with a letter that often acts as a vowel but is a consonant here.
  • The word describes a sudden, upward movement or a feeling of being nervous and easily startled.
  • Think of words that might describe an energetic animal.

After careful consideration of these clues and my initial guesses, I was able to pinpoint the solution. The answer to Wordle #1482 on July 10, 2025, is JUMPY.

Solving JUMPY today was quite satisfying, as it wasn’t immediately obvious. The presence of ‘J’ and ‘Y’ makes it less common, often increasing the difficulty level compared to words with high-frequency letters. My strategy revolved around quickly eliminating common vowels and then focusing on words that could end in ‘Y’, a frequent ending for five-letter words. WordleBot, if it were to analyze this specific word, would likely highlight the low frequency of ‘J’ as a primary factor in its overall difficulty score, pushing players to diversify their starting words.

When approaching Wordle, understanding vowel frequency is a critical part of my strategy. Vowels are the backbone of most words, and ‘E’ leads the pack in frequency, followed by ‘A’, ‘O’, ‘I’, and ‘U’. This knowledge guides me to select starting words that include multiple vowels. By hitting one or more vowels early, I significantly increase my chances of uncovering correct letters and their positions within the first few guesses.

Letter positioning is another key insight. I’ve noticed that vowels frequently occupy the second and third positions in five-letter Wordle answers. This pattern is not absolute, as seen with today’s word where ‘U’ is in the second position, but it’s a strong statistical tendency. Recognizing this pattern helps in making educated guesses, especially when you have a few consonants locked in.

Based on letter frequency and common positioning, my go-to starting words often include a mix of common vowels and consonants. Words like ‘STARE’ or ‘CRANE’ are excellent choices. They incorporate ‘S’, ‘T’, ‘R’, ‘N’, and ‘C’ alongside the highly frequent vowels ‘A’ and ‘E’, providing a balanced approach to uncover potential letters. While these didn’t yield immediate green squares for JUMPY due to its unique letter set, they helped eliminate many possibilities quickly, allowing me to pivot towards the correct solution.
