Wordle Archive

The argument was about REBUS. A friend swore it had been the answer twice within a year, I swore it had not, and the third-party lists we each googled disagreed with each other and with themselves. That was the day I stopped trusting random answer lists and started keeping my own, pulled from the official Wordle source, one row per day, no gaps.

That was back in 2022. The archive has grown every day since, and it has quietly become the page I use most on my own site, which is not something I expected. Settling arguments turned out to be the small use case. The big ones are streak post-mortems (which word killed my streak, and what does its structure have in common with the other words that killed streaks) and pattern study, which I will get to below.

One thing I refuse to do is editorialize the list. Every row is the answer that actually ran that day. No fan additions, no corrections of the puzzle's own choices, no placeholder words while I wait for confirmation. If a row is in the table, it was the real answer.

The table below holds the complete run: more than 1,800 daily answers since June 19, 2021, in order, with the puzzle number and date on every row. It renders as a plain page, not hidden behind tabs or clicks, because an answer list you cannot actually read is not an answer list.

Each row carries three things: the puzzle number, the date, and the word. That is all a lookup needs, and it is all a study session needs too. If you missed a few days and want to reconstruct what happened to your streak, you scroll. If you want to know what ran on your birthday, you use the calendar.

The list updates itself from the official source the moment each day's puzzle publishes, so the newest row is always there before you think to check. I check anyway. Old habits.

All Wordle answers 2025 is the single most searched archive query this site gets, which makes sense: 2025 is recent enough to remember, long enough ago to forget. That full year is in the table in order, January 1 through December 31, and the 2026 answers continue right below it, day by day.

People also tell me they use the year lists to study, and I do the same thing. Read a year of answers in one sitting and the word list's habits jump out: E, A, R, and T everywhere, endings clustered on -ER and -Y, double letters showing up just often enough to hurt. I wrote the double-letter warning on the daily page because the 2025 rows kept proving it.

If you are rebuilding a streak log or filling in a gap from a vacation, the year view is the fastest way to do it. Find the month, find the date, read the word. The puzzle numbers are sequential, so a missing day is obvious at a glance.

By date, in YYYY-MM-DD format, when I know the day. This is the birthday lookup and the argument-settler. Type the date, get the row.

By word, when the question is the reverse: has CRANE ever been the answer, and if so, when. The search flips through the whole table and returns every match, which is how the REBUS argument finally ended. (I was wrong, for the record. Once.)

By puzzle number, when someone says "puzzle 1356" and nothing else. The numbers run in unbroken sequence from 1, so the number alone is a full address. And when I do not know any of the three, the calendar view is the fallback — click a date, see the answer, done.

An archive is a dataset once it gets long enough, and this one got interesting somewhere around the 1,000th row. The answers are almost always common English words — the puzzle has a everyday-vocabulary habit that has held for years. Rare letters appear, but rarely, and usually in words that are common despite the letter, like the occasional X word.

Repeats happen. Not often, but more often than zero, which is the exact mistake that cost me a long streak once: I assumed a letter pattern was "used up" and stopped considering it. The archive is where I check that assumption now, and where I send anyone who makes the same one.

The endings are the quiet pattern. Scan any random month and count the -ER, -TY, -LY, and double-letter finishes. Then count the exotic ones. It is not close, and it is the reason my endgame guesses are boring on purpose. None of this is secret knowledge — it is all sitting in the table, visible to anyone who reads a few months of rows.

The daily questions all land here because the archive covers every date: today's Wordle answer is the newest row, yesterday's is right above it, and dated searches like "wordle answer June 26" or "wordle 7/15/26" resolve to the exact row with the same date label you searched with.

Now the question I get asked constantly, because people search for it: future answers. There is a steady stream of searches for future Wordle answers, and I want to answer that one honestly rather than profitably. Nobody outside the puzzle itself knows a future answer before it publishes. Sites that claim to list upcoming answers are guessing, and their lists age terribly. When tomorrow's puzzle goes live, the row appears here within minutes — that is the only truthful version of "future answers" anyone can offer.

The honesty matters to me more than the traffic. An answer archive is a trust business: you are here because you believe the rows. The fastest way to lose that is a page of predictions dressed up as a schedule.

Every row is checked against the official source before it counts, and the whole table re-syncs daily rather than trusting yesterday's state. I have caught typos in other sites' lists more times than I can count — one wrong letter in one row, and someone's streak post-mortem reaches the wrong conclusion.

So this is the standard I hold the archive to, and the standard I would hold any list to: every answer cross-checked, every date exact, every puzzle number sequential from 1. If a row ever fails that, it gets fixed the same day, and the corrected row carries the official word, not my opinion of it.

That is the whole maintenance philosophy. Boring, repetitive, daily. Exactly like the puzzle it records.

Wordle created the daily-answer genre, and this site now runs the same kind of archive for the rest of the family: Quordle's four boards, Nerdle's equations, Colordle's colors, and the rest, each with its own answer page and its own history table.

They follow the same model as this one — complete, searchable, verified daily — because that model turned out to be the useful one. If you play more than one daily game, the archives together are the full record of your puzzle habit.
