Today's Wordle answer June 22

Today's Wordle answer is: AWFUL.

Awful - a common, flexible, and powerful denunciation of something bad. For example: "that performance was simply awful". Or: "I really feel awful today". My condolences if you didn't quite find the Wordle answer today - it wasn't necessary a straightforward word, with the "WFU" combo in the middle. But regardless of whether you found the answer within six guesses or not, please don't ruin other players' Wordling fun by spoiling today's answer to them before they've had a chance to play. That would be a really AWFUL thing to do. Heh.


Another day, another Wordle. If you've been struggling recently to find the answer in six guesses - or perhaps you want to up the ante and start playing on Hard Mode - then you may want to consult our list of the best Wordle starting words. There's also our archive of past Wordle answers that you may want to have a flick through to see which words have historically been chosen as the answer.
