Wordle Riddle Revealed: The Challenge of the Letter ‘E’

NEW YORK, NY — The latest Wordle riddle was posted late on Wednesday, September 17, 2025, due to an unfortunate deletion. The riddle posed was: “I’m the beginning of the end and the end of time and space. I am in everything and surround every place. What am I?” The answer, revealed later, is the letter ‘E’.

This riddle plays on the fact that ‘E’ begins the word ‘End’ and ends the words ‘timE’ and ‘spacE’. Furthermore, ‘E’ can be found in ‘evErything’ and surround ‘Every placE’. While many might find the riddle amusing, it could pose a larger challenge if heard aloud.

Wordle is a popular daily word puzzle game where players try to guess a five-letter word in six attempts. After each guess, players receive feedback, narrowing down the options. Players also engage in Competitive Wordle, pitting their skills against friends, family, or even a Wordle Bot.

The starting word for the game on this particular day, according to the author, was ‘TRAIL’. However, this guess yielded no meaningful direction, leading them to try ‘SINGE’ next, which eliminated all but four remaining possibilities. A final attempt with ‘KNIFE’ proved to be the solution.

Interestingly, the word ‘knife’ has roots in Old English, originally spelled ‘cnīf’, linking it to meanings of ‘blade’ or ‘tool for cutting’. The word’s silent ‘K’ can be traced back to its historical pronunciation.

As players continue to enjoy the daily challenge of Wordle, the author encourages everyone to check their Wordle scores through the Wordle Bot, fostering a sense of competition and fun.
