Wordle Warriors, Rejoice! April 17 Puzzle Has A Spring In Its Step — Here’s Today's Answer
Wordle Answer Today: If today's Wordle has you scratching your head, you're not alone. Puzzle #1398 for Thursday, April 17, is stumping even seasoned solvers. But don't worry — we've got hints to nudge you in the right direction and, if you're really stuck, the answer too. Just scroll carefully to avoid spoilers.
First Things First: How Wordle Works
Wordle is a deceptively simple game that tests your vocabulary and deduction skills. You get six chances to guess a five-letter word. With each attempt, the game gives you feedback: green letters are in the right spot, yellow letters are in the wrong spot, and grey ones aren’t in the word at all.
It sounds easy, but it often isn’t — especially when you're juggling vowel placement, tricky consonants, and the ever-present fear of breaking your win streak.
Need a Nudge? Here Are Today’s Hints
If you're trying to keep your streak alive without resorting to a straight-up reveal, consider these clues:
- The word is the opposite of “sat.”
- It begins with S and ends with D.
- There are two vowels in the word.
- It contains four unique letters, so no repeating characters.
- A strong starter word today? Try “toads” — it’ll light up four yellows.
With those hints, you might just land the answer without needing a full reveal. But if you’re still in limbo, don’t fret.
Spoiler Zone: The Wordle Answer for April 17
Still stuck? Okay, here comes the moment of truth — today’s Wordle answer is STOOD.
It’s a word we use every day, and ironically, it may have made you sit in frustration for a while today.
If you're brushing up on definitions while you’re at it, “stood” is the past tense of “stand.” It simply describes the act of being in an upright position. Yes, that’s it. Simple, unassuming, and yet somehow enough to trip up thousands of players worldwide this Thursday.
So, whether you cracked it on the first go or burned all six tries, tomorrow is another shot at Wordle glory.
