Hello everyone! It’s Friday, May 23, 2025, and I’m back once again to take on today’s Wordle puzzle, and you know what that means—it’s Fearless Friday!
Today’s starting word comes from a suggestion by LHML (hope I got that right!). They proposed:
“Hey, how about queuing up the word queue?”
Well, LHML, you’ve certainly chosen a bold one! Queue is a rare Wordle pick—five letters, but only two unique ones. And since it’s Fearless Friday, we’re making things even more intense by turning on Hard Mode. That’s right: tricky word and tougher rules. Let’s see where it leads us!
Today's Wordle Hints – May 23, 2025
General Hints:
-
This word has a single vowel—U—right in the middle.
-
It’s something you do to prepare a vegetable… or maybe a shellfish.
-
The word has a strong, slightly rustic or nautical vibe.
Example-Based Hints:
-
Farm to Table: Before you eat fresh corn, you might need to do this first.
-
Clam Digging: It’s also a method used to separate shellfish from their casing.
-
Rustic Recipes: The word sounds like something you’d hear in a seaside kitchen.
⚠️ Spoiler warning! If you haven’t played today’s Wordle yet and want to solve it on your own, stop scrolling here. Otherwise, let’s dive into solving it together.
Let’s Solve Today’s Wordle
First Guess: Queue
A chaotic but brave choice! And surprisingly—not too bad. We found out that U is in the word, though not in the second position. Plus, there's only one U. So we’ve got a small but solid starting point.
Second Guess: Trunk
Time to center that U and test some strong consonants: T, R, N, and K. And look at that—we hit big! U is now green, right in the middle, and K is also green at the end. We’re locked in on two letters.
Third Guess: Shuck
Now we’re thinking outside the box. With S, H, and C added into the mix, shuck feels promising—and boom! It’s the answer!
Today’s Wordle Answer: Shuck
That’s right—shuck is today’s solution. A fun, punchy word that evokes corn husking, shellfish prep, or even rustic seaside scenes. And solving it in just three guesses on Hard Mode? That’s what Fearless Friday is all about!
Tomorrow’s Word
Looking ahead to Saturday, May 24, we’re going with one of my all-time favorite starters: audio. It’s the Swiss Army knife of Wordle words—vowel-rich, balanced, and super effective. Should make for an exciting start!
