Today’s Wordle feels heavy on vowels. Maybe too many. If you panic when faced with vowel clutter, brace yourself. You might struggle. You might also have fun. The puzzle is #1797. Dated May 21.
Want a fresh starter? Pick words loaded with E, A, and R. Avoid Z, J, and Q entirely.
Here’s where it gets interesting.
Hints (No Spoilers)
Don’t scroll too fast if you hate giving yourself answers away. But if you’re stuck… read on.
- There’s a repeat. Just one letter shows up twice.
- Only two distinct vowels. One of them is that repeated letter. So you’ll see it twice in the same word.
- It starts with A.
- It ends with E.
- Think agreement. When two people align on a viewpoint.
The Answer
AGREE
It’s right there. Starts with A, ends with E. Has that G repeated. Meaning fits. Done.
