Got a guess? If not, keep reading — we’ve got the answer below.
The Word You Were Looking For Is…
Okay, here it is — the answer to today’s Wordle (May 15, 2025) is EAGER.
Yep, “eager.” It’s a word we use all the time to describe someone who’s super enthusiastic, like when you just can’t wait for something to happen. Honestly, it’s kind of perfect for Wordle fans, right? That feeling of waiting every day for the new puzzle to drop — that’s being eager.
And if you didn’t get it, no big deal. It happens. That’s the whole fun of it — trying, guessing, getting closer, and learning with each round.
A Few Quick Tips If You’re Trying to Get Better at Wordle
If you’re one of those players who really wants to improve their guesses (or just cut down on how many tries it takes), here are a few tips that might help:
-
Start with strong first words: Use something like “CRANE” or “ALERT” — those give you a good mix of common letters.
-
Pay attention to the color clues: Green means you got the letter in the right spot, yellow means it’s in the word but wrong spot, and gray? That one’s not in the word at all.
-
Repeat letters are common: Words like “eager” show that vowels can pop up more than once. Don’t forget to try doubles.
-
Try fresh words each round: Don’t keep repeating ones you already ruled out. That’s just wasting a turn.
Also, here’s a quick list of the last few Wordle answers in case you’re trying to avoid using those again:

-
May 13 – CLONE
-
May 12 – DECOY
-
May 11 – RALLY
-
May 10 – CRAFT
So, that’s it for today. Whether you got “eager” in three guesses or needed all six, the important thing is you showed up, thought through it, and gave it a shot. That’s the whole spirit of the game.
We’ll be back tomorrow with a new puzzle and more clues to help you out. Until then, keep playing, keep learning — and just enjoy the game
