July 1 Wordle Puzzle Unpacked: Hints, Clues, and the Big Reveal

If you're anything like me, there's no better way to kick off your day than with a cup of coffee and a fresh crack at the latest Wordle puzzle. And July 1st’s Wordle — puzzle #1473 — was a little trickier than usual, with a word that might not pop up in your everyday conversation. So, if you’re stuck or just want to relive the journey of today's challenge, let’s talk about what made today’s Wordle a fun and slightly funky brain-twister.

Now, I’ll be the first to admit — when I sat down to solve today’s puzzle, I had no idea it would end in something that, well, smells a little funny. But let’s build the suspense first. Before we dive into the answer, let’s go over some of the clues that were dropped.

First off, there were no repeated letters , which always feels like a mixed blessing. On one hand, it's nice not to second-guess whether you need another "L" or an extra "S", but it also means five completely unique guesses to land on. Second, the word included one clear vowel and one of those tricky “sometimes” vowels — which usually points us to that unpredictable “Y.”

The real kicker, though, was the clue about the first letter being “M” and the word describing a food condition that’s, let’s say, less than appetizing. You guessed it — the word has to do with something that’s spoiled, something you wouldn’t want anywhere near your fridge, let alone your plate.

And sure enough, the answer was MOLDY . Yep, moldy — that perfect five-letter word for describing food that’s past its prime or anything that’s been left alone a little too long in a damp corner. It’s not an obscure word by any means, but it’s not the kind of term most of us jump to when brainstorming our first guess either. It really makes you think twice about your go-to strategy.

Yesterday’s word was BLINK , which felt much more straightforward, while previous days brought us words like WITTY , STUMP , and PLAIN — all much more in the conversational ballpark.

If you’re looking to up your Wordle game moving forward, here’s a little pro tip: start with words that include common vowels and consonants — think “RAISE,” “SLATE,” or “CRANE.” These let you eliminate or confirm several letters early on, giving you a solid base to work from.

And don’t forget — you can always check back for daily hints if you’re not ready to jump straight to the answer. But sometimes, even when the word isn’t the prettiest (like today’s), the challenge makes it that much more rewarding to solve.

So, hats off to Wordle #1473. It was a little funky, a little musty, but undeniably fun. Let’s see what tomorrow brings!
