Today’s Wordle puzzle proved particularly difficult for many, with some players calling the solution an obscure word that threatened to end their winning streaks.
The challenging nature of puzzle No. 1,487 led to widespread discussion on the social media platform X. “A word I’ve never used in my 50 year existence,” wrote one frustrated player. Another commented, “I swear that’s not a real word.” However, some managed to solve it through strategic guessing. One successful player noted, “Who knew my first guess would lead to a mysterious word I never heard of in four?”
For those attempting the puzzle, the solution is a five-letter word that begins with F. It contains two adjacent vowels, has no repeated letters, and can mean to impose something unwelcome.

- Remember that letters can appear more than once in the solution.
