???? Today’s Wordle Puzzle Guide (#1612)

Today’s Wordle is a satisfying one for anyone who has spent time in a wood shop or enjoys DIY projects. With only one vowel and no repeated letters, the puzzle leans heavily on strong consonant placement — something that can trip up players who rely on vowel-rich starter words like AUDIO or ADIEU.

If you started with a balanced opener like CRANE, CLASH, or STAMP, you likely narrowed today’s word down quickly. But the ending consonant P is what throws most players off, especially since it’s not a common Wordle final letter.

Here are your official hints before the final reveal:
