Today's Wordle Answer for July 27

🎉 The answer to Wordle #1,499 is: WHOLE

A nice, clean word, WHOLE means complete or not broken into parts — and according to WordleBot from The New York Times, it was relatively straightforward. The average player solved it in 3.6 guesses (easy mode) or 3.5 guesses (hard mode).

Strategy Breakdown for WHOLE

Many players opened with common starting words like ORATE, which revealed the “E” in the correct spot and a yellow “O.” Still, that left around 54 possible answers.

Other starting words — like PLATE or TABLE — helped reduce the options further by identifying the “L.”

One great second guess was CLOSE, which turned the “O” green and gave a yellow “L,” leaving only one real answer: WHOLE.
