Answer for April 21, 2025

SPATE

Why the year and puzzle number matter

Wordle #1402 was the NYT puzzle for April 21, 2025, and its answer was SPATE, according to an archived answer list and a dated Xfire result. April 21, 2026 was a different puzzle: a separate archive identifies it as #1767 and gives CLUMP as its answer. The date alone is not enough to identify the intended puzzle.

How Wordle feedback works

Wordle gives players six attempts to guess a five-letter answer. After each guess, feedback indicates which letters are in the correct position, which are in the answer but in a different position, and which are absent, according to a secondary rules description.
