- It starts with B, ends with K, and has just one vowel.
- Think “empty space” or “unfilled” — often used in everyday language.
✅ Today’s Wordle Answer
The answer for Wordle #1492 (July 20, 2025) is:
➡ BLANK
About Today’s Word: “BLANK”
A blank means an empty space, like on a form or test where no input is given. It comes from Middle English blanc, meaning white or pure. Simple, clean, and instantly recognizable, “blank” is both familiar and slightly tricky, because its everyday nature masks the challenge in Wordle. Expect it to stump a few people today.
Yesterday’s Wordle (#1491 – July 19, 2025)
The answer was SWORD, a medieval blade often seen in fantasy stories. Its clear theme helped many, but the answer still required locking vowels and the B+C cluster. Keep track of themed words like this—they recur strategically.
What Is NYT Wordle?
Wordle = a daily, free word-puzzle where players guess a 5‑letter word in six tries. The grid highlights letters: green (correct), yellow (wrong spot), gray (absent). Developed by Josh Wardle, sold to NYT in 2022, it remains hugely popular.
