Stuck again. Good news. It’s over.
You want today’s answer? Read on. Need the Mini Crossword solutions? Go there instead. The main puzzle, #1793 for May 17, is actually a pain in the neck. It’s not a word you shout at parties. The letters feel random. Like they’re hiding. If your starting guess was terrible, check out a list of frequent letters. Maybe stop guessing with words that use J or Q. Bad idea.
Before you ruin the fun
If you hate spoilers. Stop reading now. Look away. Close your eyes. Here is what we know before the big reveal.
No repeated letters. Clean slate. One vowel. Plus one letter that sometimes acts like a vowel. It starts with B. Ends with W. The meaning is specific. A rule. Or law. Something an organization makes to govern itself. Internal regulations.
A rule or law established by a community.
Sounds boring? Maybe. It fits though.
The answer
Today’s Wordle word is BYLAW.
There. Done. You can move on with your day.
Yesterday and recent history
Don’t feel bad if you missed it. Yesterday, #1792 was MOVER. A simple one. Before that? Here is the trail from the past week.

- May 14, #1790: WAVER

Better starters?
Why guess randomly? Use the data. English favors E, A, and R. Ignore Z, J, and Q in the beginning. They’re traps. Try these instead.
- ADIEU
- TRAIN
- CLOSE
- STARE
- NOISE
Solid picks. Give them a whirl tomorrow.
