Memorizing all of the past Wordle answers is nearly impossible – after all, there have now been more than 1,100 of them. But knowing what’s gone before is important, because Wordle answers don’t repeat – so you could easily be wasting guesses.
What you need then, is a list of past Wordle answers, and that’s what I’ve made for you here. It’s organized by month and you can simply search the page to see whether the word you’re thinking of has already been used.
So pick one of the best Wordle starting words, take a look at today’s Wordle answer if you need to and keep this list close when you’re playing – your streak will thank you.
Below you’ll find a list of every Wordle so far – all 1,202 of them (and counting!)
I’ve first organized the answers alphabetically, and then by month starting with the most recent. You can use the menus on the side (on desktop) or above (on mobile) to jump straight to the month you want.
If you’re trying to find out whether a specific word has already been an answer, there are easy ways to search for it:
Windows: click CTRL+FmacOS: click CMD+FiOS: click Share (the box with the arrow), then ‘Find on page’Android: click the three dots in the top-right then ‘Find in page’
In each case, simply type in the word you’re looking for, and if it has already been an answer you can use the arrows to navigate to it. Right, on with the list…

On which days have there been two Wordle answers?
One of the key things about Wordle is that everyone gets the same answer each day. Or is it? There have been four occasions when the game has served up two different solutions, causing no end of consternation among players.
The first two were victims of the New York Times’ purchase of the game in February 2022. The NYT removed around a dozen words that it decided were too difficult for players, or that were in some way controversial.
However, at that time people could play either via the NYT’s games site, or via the original Wordle website created by Josh Wardle. And unfortunately, the changes made by the NYT didn’t always filter through correctly to the original version.
The result was that on February 15, 2022 some people got AROMA and some the much harder AGORA for puzzle #241. Then on March 30, the same thing happened with STOVE and HARRY for game #284; the NYT thought people would only consider HARRY to be a name, and not a verb (as in to harrass), so it removed it.
The problem reoccurred in May 2022. On May 10 (game #324), the NYT removed the word FETUS in the wake of the US Supreme Court’s decision to repeal Roe vs Wade, deeming it too controversial. Instead, most players got SHINE. The next day, some players got GECKO while others received BUTCH, due to the NYT’s servers not yet having reset for everyone from the previous day’s change.
