Wordle hints today for #1,468: Clues and answer for Thursday, June 26
Hey, there! We hope you're having a terrific week. If you're looking for a little help with today's Wordle, you've come to the right place. Here's our daily Wordle guide with some hints and the answer for Thursday's puzzle (#1,468). It may be that you're a Wordle newcomer and you're not completely sure how to play the game. We're here to help with that too. Wordle is a deceptively simple daily word game that first emerged in 2021. The gist is that there is one five-letter word to deduce every day by process of elimination. The daily word is the same for everyone. Wordle blew up in popularity in late 2021 after creator Josh Wardle made it easy for players to share an emoji-based grid with their friends and followers that detailed how they fared each day. The game's success spurred dozens of clones across a swathe of categories and formats. The New York Times purchased Wordle in early 2022 for an undisclosed sum. The publication said that players collectively played Wordle 5.3 billion times in 2024. So, it's little surprise that Wordle is one of the best online games and puzzles you can play daily. To start playing Wordle, you simply need to enter one five-letter word. The game will tell you how close you are to that day's secret word by highlighting letters that are in the correct position in green. Letters that appear in the word but aren't in the right spot will be highlighted in yellow. If you guess any letters that are not in the secret word, the game will gray those out on the virtual keyboard. However, you can still use those letters in subsequent guesses. You'll only have six guesses to find each day's word, though you still can use grayed-out letters to help narrow things down. It's also worth remembering that letters can appear in the secret word more than once. Wordle is free to play on the NYT's website and apps, as well as on Meta Quest headsets and Discord. The game refreshes at midnight local time. If you log into a New York Times account, you can track your stats, including the all-important win streak. If you have a NYT subscription that includes full access to the publication's games, you don't have to stop after a single round of Wordle. You'll have access to an archive of more than 1,400 previous Wordle games. So if you're a relative newcomer, you'll be able to go back and catch up on previous editions. In addition, paid NYT Games members have access to a tool called the Wordle Bot. This can tell you how well you performed at each day's game. Before today's Wordle hints, here are the answers to recent puzzles that you may have missed: Yesterday's Wordle answer for Wednesday, June 25 — COMFY Tuesday, June 24 — ELITE Monday, June 23 — ODDLY Sunday, June 22 — THRUM Saturday, June 21 — GLADE Every day, we'll try to make Wordle a little easier for you. First, we'll offer a hint that describes the meaning of the word or how it might be used in a phrase or sentence. We'll also tell you if there are any double (or even triple) letters in the word. In case you still haven't quite figured it out by that point, we'll then provide the first letter of the word. Those who are still stumped after that can continue on to find out the answer for today's Wordle. This should go without saying, but make sure to scroll slowly. Spoilers are ahead. Here is a hint for today's Wordle answer: Suggest an item for others to buy or trade for. There is a pair of repeated letters in today's Wordle answer. The first letter of today's Wordle answer is O. This is your final warning before we reveal today's Wordle answer. No take-backs. Don't blame us if you happen to scroll too far and accidentally spoil the game for yourself. What is today's Wordle? Today's Wordle answer is... OFFER Not to worry if you didn't figure out today's Wordle word. If you made it this far down the page, hopefully you at least kept your streak going. And, hey: there's always another game tomorrow.

(AP Photo/Gregory Bull) San Diego Padres' Martín Maldonado celebrates after hitting a home run during the fifth inning of a baseball game against the Washington Nationals Tuesday, June 24, 2025, in San Diego. (AP Photo/Gregory Bull) SAN DIEGO (AP) — Martín Maldonado hit a tying home run in the fifth off San Diego native Trevor Williams and Jose Iglesias brought in the go-ahead run with a bases-loaded groundout in the sixth as the Padres beat the Washington Nationals 4-3 on Tuesday night. The bottom four batters in the Padres' order each drove in a run. Advertisement Padres rookie right-hander Ryan Bergert was forced out in the fourth after being hit on his pitching elbow by a 103-mph line drive by Jacob Young. Bergert bent over for a minute with his arm pulled in tight and then popped up and grabbed the ball, which landed near the rubber. He threw to first but Young beat it out for an infield single. After being checked by a trainer, Bergert came out. He was replaced by Adrian Morejon. Young eventually scored on James Wood's grounder to give the Nationals a 3-0 lead. Wood, a former Padres' prospect, also drew a bases-loaded walk in the second. The Padres began their comeback when they scored twice off Williams in the fourth, on Xander Bogaerts' groundout and Jake Cronenworth's RBI double. Advertisement Maldonado, the No. 9 hitter, tied it with a homer to left-center, his fourth. Williams was chased after walking the first two batters in the sixth and Cole Henry came on and walked the bases loaded. But the Padres got only one run, on Iglesias' groundout. Williams (3-9) allowed four runs and four hits in seven innings, with three walks and one strikeout. Jason Adam (6-3) got the win and Robert Suarez pitched the ninth for his 22nd save, tied for the most in the majors. Key moment Suarez struck out Wood to end it. Wood had three hits and four RBIs in Washington's 10-6 win Monday night. Key stat Advertisement Morejon has a 1.15 ERA in the 17 career relief outings he's been asked to get six-plus outs. That includes an active 18-inning scoreless innings streak across the seven such outings since Oct. 3, 2022. Up next Nationals LHP MacKenzie Gore (3-7, 3.19 ERA) and Padres RHP Nick Pivetta (7-2, 3.64) are scheduled to start the series finale Wednesday. Gore was one of six players acquired from San Diego for Juan Soto on Aug. 2, 2022. ___ AP MLB:
