Previous Wordle Answers: A Comprehensive Guide to All Solutions So Far (Alphabetical and Historical Order)

Remembering all previous Wordle answers is a significant challenge, as their number has now exceeded 1500 words. However, knowing which words have already appeared is crucial, given that Wordle answers do not repeat. This understanding prevents you from wasting your valuable attempts on previously used words.

Therefore, we provide you here with a comprehensive list of the previous Wordle answers you need. The list is organized by month, allowing you to easily search and verify if the word you are considering has been used before in the game.

Previous Wordle Answers: Daily Answer Discrepancies

In Wordle, the basic rule is that all players worldwide get the same answer daily. But does this rule always hold true? On four specific occasions, the game provided two different solutions for the same day, causing widespread confusion among players.

The first two instances occurred after The New York Times acquired the game in February 2022. The newspaper removed about a dozen words it deemed either too difficult for players or controversial. However, at that time, players could play either through The New York Times' games website or through the original Wordle website created by Josh Wardle. Unfortunately, the changes made by The New York Times did not always transfer smoothly to the original version of the game.

As a result, on February 15, 2022, some players received the word AROMA, while others got the more complex word AGORA for puzzle number 241. Then on March 30, the same thing happened with the words STOVE and HARRY for game number 284; The New York Times felt that HARRY might be understood only as a name and not as a verb (meaning to harass), so it removed it from its list.

This issue recurred in May 2022. On May 10 (Game 324), The New York Times removed the word FETUS after the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, considering the word highly controversial. Instead, most players' answer was SHINE. The next day, some players received the word GECKO, while others received BUTCH, due to The New York Times' servers not fully resetting for all users after the previous day's change. It is worth noting that no other instances of answer discrepancies in Wordle have been reported after May 2022, indicating the game's stability since then.

Here is a summary of the days that saw two different answers:

• Game 325: Date: Tuesday, May 10, 2022, Correct Answer: GECKO, Alternative Answer: BUTCH.
• Game 324: Date: Monday, May 9, 2022, Correct Answer: SHINE, Alternative Answer: FETUS.
• Game 284: Date: Wednesday, March 30, 2022, Correct Answer: STOVE, Alternative Answer: HARRY.
• Game 241: Date: Tuesday, February 15, 2022, Correct Answer: AROMA, Alternative Answer: AGORA.
