Wordle Hints, Clues and Answer — October 27, 2025 (Puzzle #1591)
If today’s Wordle has you stuck, read on. Below are targeted clues to help you narrow down the possibilities — and the full solution is revealed at the end for those who want to check.
Quick refresher: How Wordle works
Wordle is a daily five-letter word game that gives players six attempts to guess a hidden word. After each guess, tiles change color to indicate:
- Green — the letter is correct and in the right position.
- Yellow — the letter is in the word but in a different position.
- Gray — the letter does not appear in the word.
Created by Josh Wardle in 2021 and later acquired by The New York Times, Wordle remains a popular daily challenge. The NYT’s Wordle editor and data from Wordlebot suggest starting words like TRACE for broad letter coverage, but many opening words can work depending on your strategy.

Answer for October 27, 2025 (Puzzle #1591)
FETID
“Fetid” means having an offensive odor, typically from decay or rot — a fitting choice for a puzzle described as a “nose-wrinkler.”
Begin with vowel-rich words such as ADIEU, NOISE, or consonant-balanced choices like STARE. These help reveal vowel placement and common consonants early, making it easier to zero in on the solution.
