Tuesday's Wordle handed most players a relatively clean solve — but only if they thought to venture into everyday sleep vocabulary. Puzzle No. 1768 from the New York Times had one clean answer, and it was hiding in plain sight.
Today's Wordle Answer
The answer to Wordle #1768 on April 22, 2026 is SNORE.
The word functions as both a noun — describing the harsh sound produced during sleep — and a verb meaning to breathe noisily while asleep.
How Hard Was It?
Not particularly brutal, but not a gimme either. According to the New York Times' WordleBot, the average player completed Wordle #1,768 in 3.7 moves on easy mode, or 3.6 on hard rules.
