Wordle Hint Today: If today’s Wordle had you stumped, you’re not alone. The Wordle answer for May 30, 2025 (Puzzle #1441) is “IDIOM” — and it tripped up plenty of players with its deceptively simple structure and repeated vowels.
This five-letter word may sound familiar, but it’s the kind of puzzle that makes even experienced solvers pause. With two repeated “I”s and three vowels in total, it threw off common starter strategies and left many players scratching their heads.
Hints That Could Have Helped You Today
• The word has three vowels
• Two of them are the same letter
• It’s often used in language or common expressions
Even with those clues, “IDIOM” wasn’t an easy guess for most — especially if you began with consonant-heavy openers like “TRAPS” or “PLANT.”
Why “IDIOM” Was a Tough Wordle
The trickiness of Puzzle #1441 came from its abstract nature and vowel layout. While “idiom” is a well-known word, it’s not one that usually comes to mind during a guessing game.
The repetition of the letter “I” added another layer of difficulty. Many players don’t expect repeat vowels so early in their tries, which can waste guesses and mislead even savvy Wordlers.
What Does ‘Idiom’ Mean?
An idiom is a phrase or expression with a meaning that can’t be understood from the individual words alone. For example, if someone says, “kick the bucket,” they don’t mean literally — it’s an idiom for dying.
It’s a clever Wordle pick: widely used in language, but elusive when isolated.
