About Today’s Wordle

Wordle #1556 (published September 23, 2025) gives you six guesses to find a five-letter word.
Green = correct letter in the right spot, yellow = in the word but wrong spot, gray = not in the word.
Today’s solution is a simple, everyday noun with a familiar TH ending.

Non-Spoiler Overview

Think body parts and speech. The answer appears in lots of common phrases and
idioms, and it uses a regular vowel pair you’ve likely seen before. If you’re debating between several
face-related options, consider the one tied to eating, talking, and smiling.

The letter set is standard (no exotic consonants), but locking the OU vowel order and the
TH tail quickly separates the right choice from near-misses.

Quick Strategy Tips

When you suspect two vowels, test common pairings like OU, EA, and AI.
If your grid hints at a TH ending, try a probe that places TH at the tail while rotating
vowels through the middle to confirm order.

Also, don’t overlook body-part answers—they’re frequent, everyday words that often appear with
simple letter sets but require careful placement.

How I Solved Today’s Wordle

I started with AUDIO to map vowels. Then I played SHOUT to check the OU pair
and bring TH-adjacent letters into play. TOUGH helped confirm the OU order and
pushed me toward a TH ending. With that structure in mind, MOUTH fell into place on the next guess.

It looked simple in hindsight, but locking OU first and then the TH tail was the turning point.
