Mon Jun 23 07:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Wordle Players Baffled by Double-Lettered Puzzle: Solution Revealed
**New York, NY** – Wordle enthusiasts faced a tricky puzzle on Sunday, with many struggling to guess the correct five-letter word. The popular online game, a daily challenge that tasks players with guessing a hidden word in six attempts, presented a new hurdle for its dedicated fanbase.
The puzzle’s clue revealed that the word contained a double letter, further narrowing down the possibilities. After much deliberation, the solution was revealed to be **”ODDLY,”** an adverb formed by adding the suffix “-ly” to the word “odd.” The word “odd” itself has origins in Old Norse, meaning “point, angle,” later evolving to its current sense of “uneven, strange.”
One Wordle blogger chronicled their journey to the solution, noting that initial guesses like “CRONE” and “PLAIT” were not particularly helpful. It wasn’t until the guess “MOLDY” that the blogger was able to narrow down the options to the correct answer.
The Wordle Bot, an AI tool that analyzes players’ guesses, also took four attempts to solve the puzzle, matching the blogger’s performance.
Wordle continues to be a popular online pastime, with players eagerly awaiting each daily challenge. While the future of the game after the current word list is exhausted remains uncertain, fans are hopeful for new iterations, perhaps even six-letter puzzles.
