Wordle Hints and Answer – July 9, 2025

Hey hey Wordle gang! It’s me again with your daily Wordle update. I never skip a day and I love giving hints to my friends who play too. Today’s puzzle was actually pretty satisfying—not too easy but also not one of those brain-melting ones that make you question your vocabulary skills. If you’re here for some friendly clues and tips before seeing the answer, I got you covered.
So, today’s word is super familiar, but it can throw you off if you’re not paying attention. It doesn’t have any repeat letters, and every vowel you get feels like a win. I always try to use a solid starter word like “SLATE” or “CRANE” to lock in some letters early, and today, that strategy really helped. After the second guess, things started to click into place.
Alright, some clues: This word can mean something new, fresh, or creative. It’s also something you can read—yeah, like something with chapters. It starts with an “N” and ends with an “L,” and it’s got five unique letters that don’t repeat, which I always like because then you get way more feedback from each guess.
If you’re still trying to solve it, take a deep breath, think of a five-letter word you’d find on a bookshelf, and maybe try one that has an “O” and an “E” in it too. That might just light up your tiles.
Okay, ready for the answer?
Today’s Wordle for July 9 is NOVEL.
Super clean word, fun to figure out, and a satisfying “click” moment when everything lines up. I got it in four tries today, and it felt awesome. Let me know how many tries it took you—let’s see who’s got the best streak going!
Can’t wait to play again tomorrow. Catch you all then with more clues and updates!
