May 14 Wordle Answer Revealed: What’s Today’s Word?

NEW YORK, NY — Today’s Wordle puzzle has stumped players yet again, with the answer being revealed as ‘BONGO.’ Wordle, a popular daily word game, challenges players to guess a five-letter word within six attempts.

Originally created by software engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner, Wordle has rapidly gained worldwide popularity since its debut in October 2021. Many fans have even created spin-offs and variations inspired by the original game.

The hints provided for today’s Wordle included that the word begins with the letter ‘B’ and contains two vowels—one of which is repeated. Players were encouraged to select words with common consonants such as S, T, or R to enhance their chances of success.

In its early days, Wordle was free to play, but it was later acquired by The New York Times. Subscribers of NYT Games now have exclusive access to the daily puzzles.

Despite appearing easy at times, players often find themselves needing help. Today’s answer being ‘BONGO’ refers to a type of drum traditionally played in pairs, originating from Cuba, where they are predominantly played by hand.

For players hoping to retain their winning streak or sharpen their skills, utilizing effective starter words can be crucial. Past Wordle answers included ‘AWARE’ on May 13 and ‘TRIPE’ on May 9, showcasing the variety of words players embrace each day.

To share results and maintain a spoiler-free experience, players can utilize Wordle’s built-in sharing feature, which highlights their performance without revealing the day’s word.
