Looking for the Wordle answer for Monday 25 July 2022?Wordleis more than just a puzzle game. After gaining popularity early in 2022, it quickly became a social phenomenon that would no doubt feature in countless water cooler chats if offices were still a thing. Instead, it probably pops up in every group chat and Discord channel that you’re in, with people sharing little rows of green and yellow tiles as their score. The aim of the game is to guess a 5-letter word in just 6 tries. Those green tiles represent letters in the correct place, while yellow tiles indicate letters that you need to shift around.

Today’s Wordle answer July 25
It’s time to reveal the answer to today’s Wordle. The word is…
ELOPE.
To elope is to run away and get married secretly. That might be to avoid judgemental family members who might disapprove, or it might just be to live your best romcom life. Something about eloping does sound very idyllic. Jetting off somewhere secret to get married in a small, intimate ceremony. None of the awkward familial small talk that becomes necessary when your distant relatives from the Wordle group chat, who you haven’t actually seen in 15 years, show up.
How did Wordle begin?
Are any Wordle words not allowed?
You can type in pretty much any five-letter word in the English language and Wordle will accept it as a guess. However, the answer is picked each day from a much smaller list of more common five-letter words. There are still thousands of possible answers, of course, but it means the answer will never be a word as obscure as, say, “THIOL”, or “CAIRD”, or “MALIC” (yes, those are all real words).
There are very occasional words which the New York Times will choose not to publish as the day’s Wordle answer, perhaps for reasons relating to recent news or politics. For example, shortly after news broke that Roe v Wade might be overturned in the United States, the NYT decided to change the March 30th word from “FETUS” to “SHINE”, as the feeling was that the word “fetus” was too politically charged a word in the context of recent events.
The New York Times has also been careful never to allow what they consider to be rude words as the answer to a Wordle puzzle. But of course there’s nothing stopping you from using even the dirtiest of words as guesses, as long as they’re accepted words in the dictionary, and as long as you realise that they’ll never end up being the answer.
