Wordle Answer Today: April 21’s Puzzle Is Overflowing With Clues — Literally

Wordle Answer Today: If today's Wordle has you racking your brain, you're in good company. Puzzle #1402 for Monday, April 21, is proving to be a tough nut to crack — even for seasoned solvers. But don’t throw in the towel just yet. We’ve got a round of helpful hints to steer you toward victory, and if you're still stumped, the answer is just a scroll away (spoiler warning!).

First Things First: How Wordle Works

Wordle is beautifully straightforward: you’ve got six tries to guess a five-letter word. Each guess gives you feedback — green tiles mean the letter’s in the right place, yellow means it’s in the word but in the wrong spot, and grey means the letter isn’t in the word at all.

Simple, right? Until it isn’t. Especially when you're juggling vowel placements, oddball consonants, and that ever-looming fear of breaking your win streak.

Need a Nudge? Here Are Today’s Hints

Not ready for a full reveal? No worries. Try these gentle nudges first:

  • The word is closely related to the idea of overflowing.
  • It begins with S and ends with E.
  • There are two vowels in the mix.
  • All five letters are unique, so no repeats.
  • Use “paths” as a starting word and you’ll light up four yellow tiles.

Still stumped? Don’t worry — we’re almost at the answer.

Spoiler Zone: The Wordle Answer for April 21

Ready to know? Here comes the big reveal: Today’s Wordle answer is SPATE.

A “spate” refers to either a sudden flood — like a river overflowing — or a rapid series of events, such as a spate of emails, calls, or sneezes. Either way, it’s a word that implies an excessive amount of something.

If this word tripped you up today, you're not alone. It’s not the most common pick in daily conversation, but it definitely adds a bit of flair to your vocabulary bank.

Whether you nailed it on the third guess or stared at your screen until the sixth, take a deep breath — tomorrow is another chance to get it in one.
