Wordle Suggestions (and Solution) for Saturday, 15th March 2025
Kickin' It with Wordle!
Welcome, folks! Today, we're diggin' into Wordle #1,365 for March 15, 2025. Here come some clues, tips, and tricks, and Voilà! The answer. Remember, we're servin' up some spoilers, so if you don't want the answer, hold on tight!
How to Spoon Up Some Victory
Ready for the party? Wordle lives right here on the New York Times website[1][2]. A new puzzle goes live every day at midnight, in your local time.
Kick things off by guessing a five-letter word. If the letters are green, they're correct and in the right position. If they're yellow, they're right but in the wrong place, and grey means the letter ain't part of the secret word at all (check out our Wordle guide and strategy guide if you're new to this game or fancy some advanced tips).
Gather 'Round the Hints, Y'all!
Got a hankerin' for some clues? Here we go!
Quirky Letters, anyone?
Did you memorize the old typesetter's phrase of "ETAOIN SHRDLU"? Well, practice it like "Edwin Shirdloo" and call him your friend. Today, the solution word features nothing but these common letters!

Time to Dip it in the Sauce
How about the end? It's E, but watch out for other letters between L and E!
Clearing our Muddy Pond, Fishin' for the Win
Today's Wordle was a bit of a challenge; I got it in four. Here's how I did it:
- Started with RAISE (green for R and A, yellow for S and E, and grey for I and dissed the Y).
- Tried out CHANT (lit up the A, added the T, so far two letters are green: A and T).
- Shuffled my hand by tuggin' on BLEND (new green: B and L).
- As the waters cleared, LADLE swam into view.
Yesterday's Recap
Yesterday's Wordle was a medium difficult puzzle. The hint was "pizza or cake, for example" and the solution contained three common letters, one pretty common letter, and one fairly common letter[1].
The answer to yesterday's Wordle was PIECE[1][2][3].
The Wordle Blueprint
In this game, you aim to guess the secret word. When you first join the game, you'll see an empty grid of letters[2]. Time to drop your first guess: type in any five-letter word.
Next, check out the colors that are revealed to get some clues:
- If a letter turns green, you guessed it correctly and in the right position.
- If a letter turns yellow, it's a good letter but in the wrong position.
- If a letter turns grey, it ain't part of the solution word at all.
With this knowledge, take your next guess, and then another, until you hit the bullseye. You get six guesses, and then it's game over.
Gettin' a Good Start
Your first guesses should be words rich in common letters, to get yourself plenty of yellow and green squares to guide your guessin'. Words like CRANE, TRACE, SLANT, CRATE, and CARTE are often better choices (and the New York Times's Wordle analysis bot suggests these)[3].
Winning Words
Strategy is key in Wordle, my friend. The biggest divides between winners and losers are those who gather info from their guesses, instead of just randomly guessin', and yes, there's a theme to the words sometimes[2][3].
Wanna Try Some Wordle Alternatives?
Loopy for Wordle? Spice things up with some alternatives:
- Wheeldle[4]: Play round after round without takin' a breather.
- Dordle and Quordle[5]: Play two (Dordle) or four (Quordle) puzzles at the same time, with the same guesses. There's also Octordle with eight puzzles, and Sedecordle with 16.
- Waffle[6]: The grid shuffles your letters around, and you jumble 'em back together until you solve the word.
- Absurdle[7]: The solution changes after each guess, but it still has to follow its feedback. You must strategically confuse it until only one possible word remains, then take the final shot.
- Squabble[8]: This one's all about competition: You play against your pals, with a timer runnin', and damage comes your way if you take too long between guesses.
- Antiwordle[9]: The twist here? You're supposed to not guess the secret word, and if you use letters you've guessed correctly, you'll get penalized. Keep your guesses as long as possible, and you've mastered this one!
Enjoy your Wordle journey, and may the odds be ever in your favor!
