The New York Times’ daily word puzzle continues to challenge players around the world, with Wordle Review offering hints, discussion and analysis for those looking to improve their solving strategy. The latest puzzle, numbered 1,875, was released for Friday, 7 August 2026.
Players are advised that the review contains spoilers for the day’s answer. Those who have not yet attempted the puzzle should complete Wordle first before reading further.
Wordle Review Provides Hints and Player Discussion
Wordle is released at midnight based on each player’s local time zone. Because the game is played globally, The New York Times publishes two versions of its Wordle Review each day, with dates determined by Eastern Standard Time.
Players checking the review should confirm they are viewing the correct puzzle number to avoid seeing information about a different challenge.
The Wordle Review includes hints, community discussions and feedback from players sharing their results. The Games app also provides additional features, including Wordle Review, Connections Companion and Strands Sidekick.
Friday’s Wordle Puzzle Rated Highly Challenging
According to The New York Times Games testers, the 1,875th Wordle puzzle proved particularly difficult.
Testers took an average of 5.1 attempts out of the maximum six guesses to solve the word, making it one of the more challenging puzzles in recent editions.
If a tester fails to find the answer within six attempts, the result is recorded as seven guesses for scoring purposes.
The Times uses these tester results to measure the difficulty level of each puzzle, although individual experiences can vary depending on starting words, vocabulary knowledge and solving approach.
Players can also use tools such as Wordle Bot for a more detailed review of their guesses and strategies.
Hints Available for Players Seeking Help
For those needing assistance, Wordle Review provides optional clues before revealing the solution.
Players can request:
- A consonant hint
- A vowel hint
- Additional guidance through the comments section, where the Wordle community shares scores, strategies and discussions
These hints are designed to help players continue solving without immediately revealing the answer.
Featured Artist: Ben Pearce
The artwork accompanying this Wordle Review was created by Ben Pearce, a British illustrator and animator known for his work in digital design and editorial illustration.
Pearce works with creative agencies as a motion designer and animation director on projects for international brands. Away from digital work, he explores traditional techniques including drawing, printing, ink and painting.
His editorial illustrations have appeared in publications including The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Guardian and The Atlantic.
His artistic style is recognised for its expressive lines, minimal approach and use of limited colour palettes. Through simplified shapes, strong contrasts and carefully considered negative space, Pearce aims to capture the atmosphere of a location or a specific moment.
Wordle Remains a Global Daily Puzzle Favourite
Since its launch, Wordle has become one of the world’s most popular daily word games, attracting millions of players who test their vocabulary skills with the same five-letter challenge each day.
The latest puzzle continues that tradition, offering a difficult but engaging challenge for dedicated players. For those who need extra help, the Wordle Review provides clues, analysis and community conversation while keeping the final answer hidden until players are ready.
