Here is the Wordle answer today for the 1427 word, released on May 16th, 2025 and some hints to help you solve it.
Wordle is a very popular word game that has gone viral due to the results being posted all over social media by players and the simplicity of the game. The aim is to guess the five-letter American English word in six guesses or less.
There are no initial clues given as to what the word could be, but once you have made a guess, the tiles will change colour letting you know more about the letters in the word. The three different colours the tiles could change to are grey, yellow, or green.
Grey indicates that the letter you guessed is not in the word at all, so you should avoid using it in future guesses.
Yellow indicates that the letter does appear in the word, but not in the position you have it in now.
Green indicates that you have guessed the correct letter and placed it in the correct location, which is the colour you want to see!
There is also a hard mode for the game in which you are forced to use any correctly guessed letters from the previous row in every guess you make.
You may already do this, but there are times when there are multiple answers for the Wordle and you need to guess a word that contains the potential letters to help you solve the Wordle, which you will not be able to do with this mode.
You can always turn it back off during the game as well if you find it too difficult.

What is the Wordle 1427 Answer Today? (May 16th, 2025)
Here is how I managed to solve Wordle 1427 in five guesses today. I guessed the word ‘AUDIO’ first, which is my usual starter word.
This word showed me there is an I in the answer, but it is not the fourth letter.
I decided to guess the word ‘WINCE’ next as it puts the I in a different position and has an E in it.
The I was correctly placed with this word, but no other letters were revealed to be in the answer.
‘FIRST’ was the next word I guessed as it uses different letters than the ones already guessed.
This was a good word to guess as it placed the F correctly as the first letter and showed me there is a T in the Wordle answer today.
The next word I guessed was ‘FILTH’, which was a great word to guess as it placed the T and H correctly.
This left the third letter to be guessed and I was then able to solve the answer to Wordle 1427 in my next guess, which is…
FIFTH!
