Three years since it first launched, Wordle continues to be a daily ritual for millions of players worldwide. Its simple format, limited guesses, and once-a-day challenge make it uniquely addictive. It’s a quick mental workout, and the social aspect of sharing your results (without spoiling the word) keeps people engaged.
Since The New York Times acquired it in early 2022, Wordle has been integrated into their larger puzzle ecosystem, growing alongside popular games like the Mini and Connections.
If you’re still playing and need a few nudges, here are your clues:
There are three vowels in the word — and yes, one of them is repeated.
Yes! One letter shows up twice in this five-letter word.
It’s a verb, commonly used in sustainability or eco-friendly conversations.
Sure! Think of recycling or repurposing something. If you take an old box and use it again, you do this.
Here you go:
“When you take a cardboard delivery box and give it a second lease of life, you’re doing this.”
The answer to today’s Wordle (#1449 for June 7, 2025) is:
🟩 REUSE 🟩
It’s a simple but powerful word, especially in today’s eco-conscious world.
In case you missed it, Wordle #1448 on June 6 was EDIFY — a slightly more complex word that means to instruct or improve, especially morally or intellectually. That “Y” at the end probably tripped up quite a few players!
Keeping track of previous Wordle answers can help you avoid repeats and spot trends. Here’s a quick recap of recent puzzles:
None of these words are likely to repeat soon, so feel free to experiment with them in your future guesses — especially as openers to test letter positioning.
A strong starting word can be the difference between solving the puzzle in 3 tries or 6. According to most data analysts and Wordle fans, the most common letters in five-letter English words are E, A, R, O, and T. Words like “SLATE,” “CRANE,” “AUDIO,” and “RAISE” are popular choices among regular players.
If you’re tired of your usual starters, you can switch it up daily by tracking which letters have recently been in answers. With “REUSE” today and “EDIFY” yesterday, “E” appears quite frequently — you might want to begin with a vowel-heavy word next time.
Absolutely! Alongside Wordle, The New York Times features several engaging daily games. Here’s what’s trending today, June 7:
