Wordle Today – June 15’s Tough Puzzle Begins With a Rare Letter

Hey Wordle fans! If you’re anything like me, checking out the new Wordle puzzle first thing in the morning has become a daily ritual — a little mental warm-up before diving into the rest of the day. But let me tell you, today’s Wordle, puzzle number 1457 for June 15, really brought the heat.

We’re talking about a tricky five-letter word that doesn’t just test your vocabulary — it practically demands it. The biggest surprise? It starts with the letter Q , one of the least commonly used letters in the English alphabet. Right off the bat, that throws you off your game, especially if you’re used to kicking things off with those high-frequency starters like “SLATE” or “CRANE.”

Now, if you were struggling, you weren’t alone. But here’s what helped me (and what might help you next time): There are no repeating letters , and — surprise again — the word has three vowels . That’s already a bit of a clue because not many Q-words fit that structure so neatly. Combine that with the fact that it’s a word tied to both emotion and nature , and suddenly a few possibilities emerge.

One of the definitions refers to showing fear or hesitation , and the other to a small game bird . Ring any bells?

Yes — today’s answer is QUAIL .

This one definitely stumped a fair number of people, even seasoned players. Words starting with Q aren’t exactly frequent flyers in everyday conversation or puzzles, so unless you were lucky — or bold — enough to try “QUICK,” “QUERY,” or “QUACK” early on, you probably had to fight for that final guess.

Yesterday’s puzzle, by contrast, was “GHOST” — tricky, but nowhere near as obscure. And if you’ve been tracking the past week’s answers, you might’ve noticed a bit of a theme: “VIXEN,” “BILGE,” “PLAID,” “TAFFY” — fun, textured words with a mix of consonants and offbeat vowels.

It’s that blend of unpredictability and satisfaction that keeps me — and millions of others — hooked. Even when I lose, I can’t help but appreciate the cleverness in the word selection.

So if you missed it today, don’t sweat it. That’s the beauty of Wordle: there’s always tomorrow. Just maybe give those rare letters like Q, X, or Z a shot every now and then. They might be the unlikely hero of your next winning streak.

Until then — happy guessing!
