Hey there Wordle enthusiasts, it’s a tough day for us all. Nearly half of us saw our impressive streaks come to a screeching halt thanks to today’s devilishly difficult puzzle. With only 49.8% of players managing to crack the code, it’s safe to say that puzzle 1426 is a real brain-teaser. If you want the answer, you’ll have to head over to our Wordle solution page.

I can confirm that today’s word is a real doozy. The team here at PC Gamer all took a crack at it, and let me tell you, it was a struggle. Well, except for Kara, who somehow nailed it on her very first guess. But hey, she’s the one in charge of posting our Wordle solutions, so maybe she’s just got a sixth sense for these things.

Today’s word may seem simple at first, with some common letters giving us a false sense of security. But don’t be fooled – this puzzle will have you scratching your head in no time. It’s those tricky words like BUNCH or MUMMY that can really throw you off, leaving you stuck on the verge of victory. And let’s not forget about the infamous PARER from puzzle 454, which left many players scratching their heads. I mean, who even uses the word PARER in real life? Not me, that’s for sure.

So if you’re one of the unlucky ones who lost their streak today, don’t sweat it. There’s always tomorrow to try again. And if you managed to conquer today’s puzzle, well done – you’ve earned yourself another day of Wordle glory. Keep on Wordling, folks!
