Another day, another five-letter challenge! Wordle stretched things out today! October 2, 2025’s NYT Wordle focused on measurement — a word that wasn’t flashy, but practical, precise, and just tricky enough to keep solvers on their toes.

Top Hints for Today's Wordle: 2nd October 2025

Here are eight nudges to guide you:

  1. A five-letter noun.
  2. It refers to dimension or size.
  3. Opposite of “length” in some contexts.
  4. Starts with a consonant, ends with another.
  5. Contains just one vowel.
  6. Includes the uncommon letter “W.”
  7. Technical but everyday — you’ve definitely measured it before.
  8. Rhymes with “myth.”

Answer for Today’s Wordle: 2 October 2025

Today’s puzzle wasn’t about being fancy — it was about being exact. Many players tried depth, bread, or width’s cousin, “length,” before the rare “W” and “TH” combo gave it away.

The answer? WIDTH.

A word that feels straightforward yet strong — describing one of the most basic measurements we use daily. Today’s solve was a reminder that even the simplest concepts can stump you for a while when hidden in a grid.

When the tiles turned green, it was like taking out a ruler and finally seeing the exact fit. Precise, neat, and oddly satisfying.

Tricks to get it going

If you want to improve your chances of solving the puzzle faster, here are a few tried-and-true strategies:

  1. Start with a strong opener – Choose a word packed with common vowels and consonants (like R, S, T, N, L). This quickly reveals patterns.
  2. Mix up the vowels – Don’t hesitate to test different vowel placements early on. Knowing where vowels sit can unlock the word structure fast.
  3. Use elimination smartly – Even a “wrong” guess is useful. Pay attention to grays, greens, and yellows to cut down options logically.
  4. Don’t cling to one idea – If you get stuck, reset your thinking. Often, the right word is simpler than the brain makes it out to be.
  5. Look for word patterns – Endings like “-ED,” “-ER,” or “-Y” are common in Wordle answers, so keep those in mind when filling blanks.
  6. Stay calm under pressure – The sixth guess can feel intense, but don’t rush. Take a breath and think of all the possibilities that fit your clues.

Wordle has become a daily ritual for millions of people around the world—and for good reason. It’s quick, it’s challenging, and it delivers that tiny hit of accomplishment that sets the tone for the rest of the day. Part of the magic is its simplicity: just five letters, six tries, and a new puzzle every day. Add in the friendly competition of sharing results without giving away the answer, and suddenly it’s more than a game—it’s a community habit.

Another reason? It’s accessible. Anyone can play, from casual puzzle lovers to word nerds, without needing to download anything complicated or spend more than a few minutes. That balance of easy to start and hard to master is what keeps people coming back every single morning.

Keep practicing, keep playing, and come back tomorrow ready for a fresh word and a brand-new victory.
