01
Today’s word is a common English noun referring to a part of the human body — specifically a joint that connects two important sections of your leg. You use it with every step you take.
Category
02
The word has two vowels — both different letters. Consonant-heavy words like this one can be tricky if your opener doesn’t catch the right vowels early.
Vowels
03
The word starts with a vowel — the first letter is A. Words starting with A are moderately common in Wordle. Standard openers like CRANE or STARE may reveal it as yellow, not green.
First Letter
04
The word ends with the letter E — a very common Wordle ending. The -LE ending is a familiar English pattern that applies here: the final two letters are L and E.
Last Letter
05
There are no repeated letters in today’s word — all five letters are unique. The consonants include N, K, and L. The two vowels are A and E, placed at positions 1 and 5 respectively.
Letters
06
The word follows the pattern A-N-K-L-E — five letters, with A at position 1, N at position 2, K at position 3, L at position 4, and E at position 5. You’re standing on two of them right now.
Pattern
Letter Breakdown — Click Each Letter to Unblur
Pos 1
A is a common Wordle opener vowel — most standard starting words will surface it quickly
Pos 2
N at position 2 is a strong consonant placement — openers like CRANE place N at position 4, so it may show up yellow first
Pos 3
K is a less common Wordle letter — many openers won’t include it, making it one of the trickier letters to place here
Pos 4
L at position 4 is a familiar English pattern — the -LE ending is one of the most common in five-letter words
Pos 5
E closes the word — the -LE ending snaps into place once you have A-N-K at the front, making the final guess satisfying

Ankle — the joint between the foot and the leg. From Old English ancleow, of Germanic origin, related to Dutch enkel and German Enkel. A straightforward anatomy word that’s satisfying to land in Wordle: vowel-bookended (A___E), with the uncommon K at the centre making it a fair challenge.
