About Today’s Wordle

Wordle #1551 (published September 17, 2025) gives you six chances to guess a
five-letter English word. Letters in the correct spot turn green, misplaced but present letters turn yellow, and letters not in the word are gray. Today’s solution uses very common letters but adds a twist with a double consonant.

Non-Spoiler Overview

Today’s word is short, sharp, and plural. It names something everyone has (at least usually),
and it plays a role in both health and expressions. If you think of what’s in your mouth besides your tongue,
you’re almost there.

This answer is a straightforward, everyday noun, making it accessible — but the repeated letters
can throw players off if they don’t test for them early.

Today’s puzzle is also a reminder that Wordle doesn’t shy away from simple, everyday words.
Sometimes the most obvious guess is the right one.

How I Solved Today’s Wordle

I opened with AUDIO, my usual starter, which gave me some quick vowel info.
For my second try, I used PESTY to test consonants and check for a Y ending.
That set me up nicely to notice the double E possibility, and I found the answer — TEETH — on my third guess.

I liked that this puzzle highlighted the importance of checking for repeated vowels.
It felt satisfying to spot the double E early and lock in the solution quickly.
