Wordle Answer Today (April 30): No Work, All Play? Today’s Puzzle Might Just Call You Out

Wordle Answer Today: As millions of Wordle fans tuned in for their daily brain teaser on Wednesday, April 30, they were met with a word that might hit close to home for some. The five-letter answer, as it turns out, describes a person who's not too fond of hard work — an apt choice for anyone dragging themselves through the week. Today’s Wordle was both a vocabulary test and a tongue-in-cheek reminder to stay on your toes.

If you're struggling to crack today's puzzle, you're not alone. Even seasoned solvers can hit a wall, and with just six attempts to get it right, a small nudge in the right direction never hurts.

Clues That Narrow It Down — But Not Too Much

Players looking for a leg up were offered a series of hints to help preserve those coveted win streaks. Here’s what today’s clues revealed:

  • The word starts with the letter “I”
  • It ends with “R”
  • It has five unique letters
  • There are two vowels in the mix
  • The word can be used to describe someone reluctant to work
  • If you began with the guess “oldie,” four letters would light up yellow

With each of these hints, the solution became just a little clearer — unless, of course, your brain was too idle to piece it all together.

And the Answer Is...

Still stumped? No worries. Here comes the big reveal: the Wordle answer for April 30 is IDLER.

An “idler” is, quite literally, someone who idles. It could be a person avoiding responsibility, someone without a task to do, or simply a laid-back soul letting the day drift by.

Congrats to those who guessed it — especially if you did so without cheating. And if you didn’t? There’s always tomorrow. Just don’t let yourself idle too long.

What Makes Wordle So Addictive?

Part of the charm of Wordle lies in its elegant simplicity. You get six chances to guess a mystery five-letter word. Letters light up in green when they’re correctly placed, turn yellow if they’re in the word but in the wrong spot, and stay grey if they don’t belong at all. The minimalist rules and once-a-day format have kept the puzzle fresh and compelling.

And when the solution of the day reflects our own work habits? That’s just a bonus.
