CNET published the hints and answer for the April 13 New York Times Wordle, No. 1,759, and called the puzzle very tricky. The solution is an unusual word with at least one rare letter, begins with E, uses two vowels and has no repeated letters.
The answer can refer to a small and delicate person. That made it harder to spot than the average daily puzzle, especially after April 12’s No. 1,758 answer, ALLEY, gave players a very different kind of finish.
The clues fit the familiar Wordle hints-and-answer format that now sits alongside Mini Crossword, Connections, Connections: Sports Edition and Strands in the same daily puzzle cycle. For players still working through today’s grid, the key facts are simple: the word starts with E, carries two vowels and avoids repeated letters.
That combination is what makes the puzzle land today. It is not just unusual; it is the sort of answer that rewards narrowing the field quickly, then trusting the letter pattern once the rare character is in place.
