About Wordle #1792 (May 15, 2026)
Wordle #1792 was published on Friday, May 15, 2026. It's the puzzle players around the world saw on that date, locked in at midnight local time and shared the next morning through the familiar yellow-and-green grid.
The answer was CREED, a 5-letter word that starts with C and ends with D. It was chosen by Tracy Bennett, the editor on duty for the May 15 slot.
This particular answer carries 2 vowels and 3 consonants, distributed across positions 3, 4. The word uses 4 distinct letters, with E showing up 2 times. Standard difficulty for a weekday slot, with the answer sitting in a common word family that a careful opener can narrow down.
If you're replaying this puzzle from the archive, start with a classic opener like CRANE, STARE, or ADIEU to nail the vowels in two moves. Once you know the shape, the suffix often gives the answer away. The day before this one was WAVER and the day after was MOVER, so comparing those three answers is a quick way to spot whether the editor leaned toward a particular stem or vowel pattern that week.
For more context, the Wordle archive on this site indexes every puzzle back to launch, so you can scan the surrounding week or jump straight to a specific date. The solver tool on the same site will run the same letter-frequency logic against any guess you throw at it, which makes it handy for working through a stale grid you've been sitting on.
