Today’s Wordle Answer (July 27, 2025)
If you still haven’t beaten today’s Wordle even with the clues provided above, the answer is below…
The answer to today’s Wordle is “LUCID”.
The word “Lucid” is an adjective with several meanings. The most common being suffused with light and having full use of one’s faculties. Used in a sentence, the former would be, “I was swimming in a lucid sea, and could see everything”. Used in a sentence, the latter would be, “My mind was lucid as I entered the room for my job interview”. Both of these meanings suggest something is clear.
According tothe Online Etymology Dictionary, the word “Lucid” comes from the Latin “lucidus,” meaning light, bright, or clear. Related Latin words are “lucere,” meaning to shine, and “lux,” meaning light. The use of “Lucid” to indicate something filled with light has reduced over time, with most people in the modern age really only using it to refer to the mind and a way of thinking intelligibly.
