Please use our extensive help to continue your winning streak in Wordle (open in new tab). And don't worry if you've lost track of the answer to the April 19 (669) game.

After my second guess was flipped, I didn't have much - just one yellow and one green. The green was exactly where it needed to be, and the yellow just happened to be the letter that should go there, forming a natural pair with a letter I had not yet tried. With these three letters vaguely fixed in place, the answer to today's Wardle just appeared.

Today's answer is another word meaning a heavy, blunt blow that makes a dull sound. This word can also be used when you are suffering from a headache with similar symptoms. Today there is only one vowel sound.

There are no repeated letters in today's word list.

Playing Wordle well is like winning a small victory every day:

There is no time pressure. If you struggle to find the answer or find the tactical word for your next guess, it doesn't hurt to come back to it later.

Here's the word you've been looking for: the answer to the April 19 (669) wordle is "THUMP."

Knowing the answers to past wordls helps eliminate the possibility of the present. Since the same word is unlikely to be repeated, you can find clues to guess or find words you don't know.

Here are some recent Wordle solutions:

Wordle gives you six columns of five boxes each day, and your job is to eliminate or check which five-letter word is hidden and which letter it contains.

You may want to start with a strong word (opens in a new tab) such as LEASH (contains multiple vowels, common consonants, and non-repeating letters) Press Enter and the box will show correct or incorrect. If the box goes to ⬛️, it means the letter is not in the secret word. means the letter is in the word, but not in that position. means that the correct letter is in the correct position.

The second time around, you will need to compliment the starting word, using another "good" guess to cover the common letter you missed last time, while avoiding the letter you now know for sure is not present in today's answer. After that, you simply use what you have learned to narrow down the correct word. You can try a total of 6 times, and you can only use real words (so you can't fill the box with EEEEE to see if there is an E). Remember that letters can be repeated (e.g. BOOKS).

Originally, Wordle was invented by software engineer Josh Wardle (opens in new tab) as a surprise for his partner, who loved word games. From there it spread to his family and was finally released to the public. The word puzzle game has since provided tremendous inspiration for games like Wordle (opens in new tab), focusing the daily gimmicks on music, math, and geography It wasn't long before Wordle became so popular that it was sold to the New York Times for a seven-figure price!
