Wordle Puzzle #1449: Hints, Answer and Origin of the Viral Game

Wordle is a popular word game where you guess a five-letter word in six tries.

Each guess gives you hints with colored tiles: green for correct letters in the right place, yellow for correct letters in the wrong place, and gray for incorrect letters.

The game was created by Josh Wardle as a gift and became a global sensation.

The New York Times now owns Wordle, and it's played daily with the same word worldwide.

The word for June 7, 2025, is 'REUSE'.

You can play Wordle on the New York Times Games website.
