Start with a word like SALTY or TIGER to test common vowels and consonants. Green tiles confirm correct letters and positions while yellow tiles show letters in the wrong spot. Avoid starters like QUACK with uncommon letters.
Yesterday’s word BLANK (#1492 July 20) was an empty space hinting at today’s shift to an emotional state. Social media posts note players struggling with the double letter often solving in five guesses.
Why This Wordle Stands Out
The puzzle’s tricky nature comes from its rare double letter and single vowel making it a test of strategic guessing. Wordle’s global appeal with millions playing daily fuels online chatter with fans sharing #wordlereview grids celebrating four-guess wins. The word’s slang origin possibly from 1930s U.S. adds a quirky historical angle to its modern use in contexts like stress or excitement.
Today’s Wordle Answer
The answer for Wordle #1493 on July 21 2025 is TIZZY
This noun fits the hints with one vowel (I) a double Z and a meaning tied to nervous agitation. It follows recent answers like BLANK (#1492) and SWORD (#1491) continuing the trend of varied themes.
