Today’s Wordle Challenge Leaves Players Guessing With a Stinky Twist
If you’ve been scratching your head over today’s Wordle, you’re not alone — puzzle number 1591 turned out to be quite the challenge for many fans. The New York Times’ daily word puzzle, which continues to draw millions of players worldwide, dropped a rather unusual five-letter word this time, one that not many people use in everyday conversation.
For October 27, the word that had everyone puzzling was “FETID.” Yes, that’s the answer — and if you haven’t heard it in a while, or ever, it simply means something that smells bad or has an unpleasant odor. So if you found yourself stuck after trying words like “FUNNY” or “FILTH,” you were definitely circling the right idea.

As shared in CNET’s daily Wordle update, today’s puzzle didn’t have any repeated letters, and it contained two vowels. The word started with an “F” and ended with a “D,” which should have narrowed things down, but it still caught many players off guard. Words that sound old-fashioned or uncommon tend to trip people up, and “fetid” fits that category perfectly. It’s one of those words you might see in a novel or science article, not something you’d toss around in daily conversation.
Yesterday’s Wordle, for those keeping track, was “PLUMP.” A much more cheerful and familiar word compared to today’s gloomy, smelly one. In recent days, the puzzles have ranged from practical to poetic — with answers like “GAUGE,” “DRILL,” and “STUNT” — but “FETID” definitely takes the prize for being the most obscure of the bunch.
For newer players, Wordle remains a beautifully simple yet deceptively tricky game. You’ve got six chances to guess a five-letter word. Each time you type in a guess, the game gives you color-coded feedback — green if you’ve got the right letter in the right spot, yellow if the letter’s right but misplaced, and gray if it doesn’t belong at all.
And while there’s no timer or leaderboard, it’s become a global ritual — a quick mental warm-up that unites players across time zones and generations. Whether you share your results with friends or just play quietly over morning coffee, Wordle continues to be a daily delight — even on the days it leaves you muttering about “fetid” mysteries.
So, if you found today’s word a little tough, don’t worry. Tomorrow brings a brand-new puzzle and a fresh chance to redeem your streak. Just remember — sometimes, even the stinkiest words can be oddly satisfying to uncover.
