Because Wordle uses five letters with six guesses to find a secret word, we thought May 6 would be the perfect date to celebrate the game that has sparked a joyful daily routine for so many people across the globe. Wordle continues to inspire families and friends to connect by sharing each day’s solving challenges and surprises.

The Wordle answer for game #1,422 was DOWEL. Hello Wordlers. A devious little puzzle today. Not only is DOWEL an unusual word in its own right, but 'W' is the sixth rarest character in the game.
