Wordle is the daily five-letter puzzle that tests deduction and vocabulary in equal measure. For 8 December 2025, the challenge shifted from yesterday's musical theme to something a bit more savory. While the word itself is very common, its specific letter combination—especially at the end—caused some players to scramble for a solution. Below, you’ll find a full set of helpful hints followed by the complete answer if you need it.

Answer for Today’s Wordle: 8 December 2025

The puzzle started with a few common consonants, but the lack of standard vowels in the latter half of the word threw some players off. Locking in the final letter was key to solving the rest. The answer? GRAVY.

Tricks for Puzzles Like This

  • Remember that 'Y' often functions as a vowel, especially at the end of a word.
  • Eliminate common consonant clusters like 'GR' or 'ST' early.
  • Don’t shy away from less common letters like 'V' if standard options fail.
  • Use elimination to narrow down the specific vowel sound when options are scarce.

Why Today’s Wordle Felt Sneaky

GRAVY posed a challenge similar to "NERVY" or "HEAVY" by relying on the 'V' and 'Y' combination, which can be difficult to visualize if you are hunting for standard vowels like E or O. Its structure—consonant-heavy with a "semivowel" ending—often leads to wasted guesses on words with more traditional spelling patterns. Did you manage to serve up the answer, or did it leave you stuck?
