As we snap out of the hypnotic trance of GTA 6’s second trailer, we’ll realize that today is only Wednesday.

Thanks to The New York Times, we’ve been blessed to have Wordle since 2021. With over a million users testing their word knowledge, the five-letter possibilities are endless. This puzzling puzzle game gives up to six opportunities for players to guess the correct answer. With each guess, feedback is provided through gray, yellow, and green blocks, which indicate where and which letter(s) appear in the final word.
The entertainment industry had quite the day, with the morning news of GTA 6, which has received a wave of positive reactions from fans. The second Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer has over 41 million views on YouTube within the first 24 hours. This massive project has been in development for almost a decade, and to see how the game looks at its current state is impressive. On the movie side, rumors of A24 and Ex Machina director Alex Garland taking on the Elden Ring live-action movie adaptation swirled around the internet. In any case, my starting word for today is “PHOTO.” This guess has one yellow and one green block.

The word “PHOTO” has a yellow block with P and a green block with O. While this might seem like a baseline start, we know that the O is at the end of the final word. This cuts down the word search since there aren’t many words ending with O and having the letter P. A Wordle hint for today’s puzzle is that the meaning of the final solution is “exaggerated masculinity.” Today’s answer can be found down below.
Today’s solution for The New York Times Wordle for May 7th is “MACHO.” A rather big word, many might get tripped up due to the two vowels or by not guessing M. If you want to see future puzzle pieces, return for more hints and tips on Thursday, May 8th, for Wordle #1,419. Trust yourselves, players.
