Wordle Answer Today — Hints & Solution (August 3, 2026)

Stuck on today's Wordle? You're in the right place. Below you'll find three progressive hints — vowel count, starting letter and word meaning — followed by the full answer. Scroll only as far as you want: no accidental spoilers here.

Hint 1: Vowels

Today's word contains two vowels, and neither of them repeats. If you're tracking which vowels you've already ruled out, focus on the ones you haven't tried yet.

Hint 2: Starting Letter

The word begins with the letter S. It ends with a consonant that appears in the top ten most common Wordle ending letters.

Hint 3: Meaning

This word describes something you'd find in a kitchen — specifically, something you might use to add flavor. Think of a common seasoning rather than a cooking tool.

SPICE checks all the boxes from our hints: two vowels (I and E), starts with S, and it's a kitchen staple. If it took you four or more guesses today, don't worry — S-starting words with this vowel pattern trip up a lot of players.

How to Get Better at Wordle

• Open with a high-coverage word. Words like CRANE or SLATE test three of the most common consonants plus two vowels in one shot. See our ranked list of the 10 best starting words.
• Use your second guess to eliminate, not to win. If your opener came back mostly gray, play a word with five completely new letters instead of forcing a guess.
• Remember double letters exist. Roughly 1 in 7 answers contains a repeated letter. If you're stuck, test a double.
• Think about letter positions. Some letters love certain spots — S loves position 1, Y loves position 5, E loves positions 4 and 5.
