Why we keep an archive of past Wordle answers

The official New York Times Wordle game only shows you today's puzzle, so once a day rolls over there's no easy way to look up an old answer. Our archive fills that gap. Each page covers a single date — like May 4, 2026 — with the verified solution, the same hints we shared with players that morning, and a brief note on what the word means. It's especially useful if you're catching up on a missed day, comparing your guess history, or researching tough Wordle words for opener strategy.

You can also browse today's Wordle hints if you'd rather get a nudge than the full word.

A quick note on dates

Wordle puzzles roll over at midnight local time, but the official puzzle number and print date are set by The New York Times in US Eastern / Pacific time. We use the NYT print date — 2026-05-04 in this case — so puzzle numbers always line up with the official archive, no matter what time zone you're playing from.
