**Wordle Players Stumped by Obscure Word, Streaks Threatened**
Wordle enthusiasts are voicing their frustration today as the July 15th puzzle proves to be a particularly challenging one. Many players are reporting difficulty cracking the code, with some even fearing the end of their winning streaks.
The word, “FOIST,” described as meaning to impose something unwelcome, begins with the letter “F” and contains two consecutive vowels. The word itself is reportedly unfamiliar to some players, leading to complaints on social media.
“A word I’ve never used in my 50 year existence,” one frustrated user wrote on X.
While some managed to solve the puzzle, even without prior knowledge of the word, many are struggling.
For those still seeking assistance, the hints provided include:
* No letters are repeated.
* The word contains two vowels.
* The word starts with “F.”
* The two vowels are next to each other.
* The word relates to imposing something unwelcome.
Yesterday’s Wordle answer (July 14th) was “UNDID”. General Wordle tips to consider when playing: Use highly common letters in your starting word (TRAIN, STERN, AUDIO are good starts), and remember that letters can be used more than once.
Whether you solve it or not, good luck, Wordlers!
