Hello everyone! It’s Sunday, May 25, 2025, and I’m back to tackle another Wordle puzzle with you. Today’s starting word comes from Worst Workshop, who writes:
“May I suggest plumb as a starting word?”
And I couldn’t agree more—plum is rich, vibrant, and perfect for Wordle. It even has a certain poetic quality to it, doesn’t it? So let’s dig in and see what fruit it bears today.
Today's Wordle Hints – May 25, 2025
General Hints:
-
The word has five letters, of course.
-
There’s an I somewhere in the middle.
-
The word relates to deception or trickery, especially in a financial context.
Example-Based Hints:
-
Think of a scam that swindles people out of money—like a shady con artist might pull.
-
Often used in crime dramas when discussing wire fraud or Ponzi schemes.
-
Rhymes with “lift” and has the same rhythm as “drift.”

Let’s Solve Today’s Wordle
First Guess: Plumb
⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜
Well… that didn’t give us anything to work with. But don’t worry—starting words don’t always pay off immediately. The bright side? All new letters are fair game now.
Second Guess: Great
🟩🟩⬜⬜🟩
Now we’re talking! From great, we learn:
-
G is green in position one.
-
R is green in position two.
-
T is green in position four.
That locks in a strong frame: GR _ _T
Let’s figure out what fits in those blanks.
Third Guess: Grift
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
Boom! There it is—GRIFT in just three guesses! A classic example of a lucky leap on the second try, and the third guess seals the deal.
Today’s Wordle Answer: Grift
A sharp little word with a sneaky vibe—grift fits perfectly in today’s lineup. Just goes to show how fast a solve can unfold once you lock in those core consonants.
