Cracking Today’s Wordle #1396 – Did You Get It Right?
Okay, Wordle warriors—let’s talk about today’s puzzle, number 1396 for April 15. If you’ve played it already, you know it wasn’t the friendliest word to crack. And if you haven’t? Spoiler alert coming, so now’s your chance to bail if you’re still guessing. But for those of us who like to dive into the strategy, the surprises, and that sweet satisfaction of solving it (or just screaming into the void), here’s the rundown.
So today’s answer was ASHEN . Yep, five letters, starts with an A, no repeating letters, and it ends up being one of those sneaky words that hides in plain sight. It refers to a pale gray color—think the look of someone who’s just seen a ghost or the sky right before a storm rolls in. It’s descriptive, evocative, and, let’s be honest, not necessarily a word you throw around every day in casual conversation.
The challenge with ASHEN ? It doesn't have a lot of common hooks. No double letters, the vowel-consonant mix isn’t super predictable, and even though it starts with “A,” the rest doesn’t fall into any of those “go-to” patterns. If you usually play with strong starters like “SLATE,” “CRANE,” or “ADIEU,” it probably took a few tries to get closer.
The clues today were actually pretty helpful, if you checked them out. No repeated letters? That narrows the field. Two vowels? Always a clue worth locking down. But what really gave it away for some was the fact it began with “A” and described a pale color. That tiny hint about color might’ve been the spark people needed.

And for those curious about recent streaks, yesterday’s answer was CREST , and the days before featured words like LAUGH , NURSE , and TURBO . Compared to those, ASHEN is a bit of an outlier—less movement, more mood.
If today’s Wordle had you second-guessing every combination of letters you know, trust me, you’re not alone. But that’s what keeps it fun. It’s not just about guessing the word—it’s about the journey there. The head-scratching, the “aha” moment, the shared frustration (and joy) in group chats when someone gets it in two guesses and someone else is stuck at five.
Anyway, whether ASHEN lit up your board with green early or left you clinging to your final guess, you showed up—and that’s the Wordle spirit. Here’s to hoping tomorrow’s word is a little kinder. Or not. We’ll be here for it either way.
