Wordle Answer and Hints for May 7, 2025 - Solution Revealed
Wordle, designed by Josh Wardle for his word-game-addicted partner, went viral as a worldwide phenomenon after its public launch in October 2021. It was a personal project that became incredibly popular when a shareable, emoji-based result format was added, causing viral social media chatter. What's interesting is that everyone across the globe works on the same daily five-letter word.
Perhaps not surprisingly, Wordle also contains a ‘hard mode,’ which forces players to utilize exposed clues in future guesses. The word list used for the game only has slightly more than 2,300 words, so in theory, today's puzzles would take more than six years to get through! Simple though this daily word game is, millions have been enticed by this one-a-day challenge.
