Since 2021, the NYT app has brought daily Wordle puzzles to millions of people. With the game already running through a thousand words, the endless possibilities have continued to challenge players regularly. Wordle is a puzzle game in which players solve a five-letter word with up to six opportunities to answer correctly. Every guess provides feedback with gray, yellow, and green blocks, which indicate where and what letters belong in the final word.
Yesterday brought us some huge news in the HBO realm, with the Season 2 premiere of The Last of Us bringing in 5.1 million viewers on Sunday night, 10% more than the pilot episode of Season 1. HBO has also announced six cast members have been confirmed to be in the Harry Potter series, which will see the likes of John Lithgow as Dumbledore, Paapa Essiedu as Professor Snape, Nick Frost as Hagrid, and Janet McTeer as Professor McGonagall. Given this, my starting word for today is “wands” since HBO’s Harry Potter series will cast a spell on audiences the same way TLOU Season 2 is. This starter word has three yellow blocks.

The word “wands” has three yellow blocks: A, N, and S. Getting a vowel like A and a consonant like N and S are valuable indicators of which words to look for. While we aren’t sure of where these letters are placed, we can use their previous spots as free spaces for other letters. For anyone looking for a hint, find a word starting with A and ending with N. If you want to see the final answer for today’s Wordle, look below.
The solution for The New York Times Wordle for April 15th is “Ashen.” An uncommon word, this one was tricky to figure out. Let’s not get pale in the face with this one, as we will have more opportunities to solve other puzzles tomorrow. Speaking of which, check back here for another Wordle puzzle piece. Enjoy the small moments, players.
