The Wordle 1637 answer is TRUCK
This everyday vehicle word proved to be a straightforward puzzle once you identified the common TR- starting combination and the final K.
How I Solved Wordle 1637
Here’s my solving journey for today’s puzzle, which took 4 attempts:
Attempt 1: LEAVE
My starting word was LEAVE, which revealed:
- All letters turned gray (L, E, A, V, E all eliminated)
- No letters from LEAVE appear in the target word
- Time to try a completely different set of letters
Not the best start, but at least I eliminated five letters immediately!
Attempt 2: CLOUD
Switching to different common letters:
- C in position 4 turned yellow (appears in the word but wrong position)
- U in position 3 turned yellow (appears in the word but wrong position)
- L, O, and D were all eliminated (gray)
Good progress! Now I knew C and U were in the word but needed repositioning.
Attempt 3: BUCKS
Trying to place C and U in different positions:
- U in position 2 turned green! ✓
- C in position 3 turned green! ✓
- K in position 4 turned yellow (appears in word but wrong position)
- S in position 5 turned gray (eliminated)
- B was eliminated (gray)
Excellent progress! Pattern: _UC_K with K needing to move to position 5.
Attempt 4: TRUCK
With the pattern _UC_K and K needing to be at the end:
- T in position 1 – green! ✓
- R in position 2 – green! ✓
- U in position 3 – green! ✓
- C in position 4 – green! ✓
- K in position 5 – green! ✓
Success! Wordle 1637 solved in 4 attempts.
Why TRUCK Was Today’s Wordle
TRUCK is an excellent Wordle choice because it:
Common Vocabulary: Everyone knows this word and uses it regularly.
Strategic Letter Placement: The TR- combination is common, but the UCK ending is distinctive.
Single Vowel Challenge: With only one vowel (U), it can be trickier than words with multiple vowels.
Everyday Object: Concrete nouns like vehicles often make good Wordle answers.
No Tricks: Straightforward word with no double letters or unusual patterns.
Letter Analysis
- T – Very common starting letter (about 6% frequency)
- R – Frequent consonant in position 2
- U – Less common vowel, especially in middle positions
- C – Moderately common consonant
- K – Less frequent letter, often at word endings
Alternative Solving Paths
Different starting words would have led to varied experiences:
If you started with STARE:
- Would have revealed T and R
- Could solve in 3-4 attempts with strategic follow-ups
If you started with TRICK:
- Would have revealed T, R, I, C, K
- But I would be gray, showing you’re very close
- Possible 2-attempt solution with TRUCK
If you started with STUCK:
- Would have revealed all letters except R
- Easy 2-attempt solution
If you started with TRACK:
- Would have revealed T, R, A, C, K
- Just swap A for U in position 3 for a 2-attempt win
My LEAVE start wasn’t optimal, requiring 4 total attempts to find TRUCK.
