Answer for Today’s Wordle: 15 December 2025

Dodgy

If today’s grid left you scrambling for a valid guess in the final rows, it’s understandable. The answer uses a repeated consonant structure and a specific colloquial flavor that can be harder to spot than standard nouns.

Tricks for Puzzles Like This

  • Always check for repeated letters if your green and yellow tiles aren't adding up.
  • Remember that 'Y' is a common ending for adjectives, even if it's not a standard vowel.
  • If you have a consonant in the first spot, try repeating it in the third or fourth position to see if it fits.
  • Don't shy away from slang or informal terms if standard dictionary words aren't working.

Why Today’s Wordle Felt Tricky

Today’s Wordle felt tricky because Dodgy relies on a double consonant pattern (the repeated 'D') which is notoriously difficult to visualize. Additionally, while the word is common in the UK and Australia, it might not be the first adjective that comes to mind for all players. Once the 'Y' ending and the repeated 'D' were identified, however, the solution became the only logical fit. How many guesses did it take you to land on Dodgy?
