Honestly, I think it was just one of those days where Wordle decided to be sneaky. Wordle 1424, from May 13, 2025, was the word "AWARE." Sure, it didn't seem like a hard word since it's just describing "having knowledge," but it's tricky for a few reasons.

First off, there were a lot of vowels. Like, three in a five-letter word can be a puzzle itself. Plus, starting and ending with "A" and "E" can mess with your usual guesses. Some folks were probably guessing more common combos first or focusing too much on different endings.

I remember getting stuck on something simple like "ACUTE" and thinking, "Duh, why didn't I think of AWARE?" But that's the thing with Wordle — it pokes at your brain differently every time. My friend was also going on about starting with "CRANE," and maybe it didn't help this round either. You never know when Wordle just wants to keep you guessing for longer.

Sometimes, it's just luck or bad timing. But hey, at least it’s always a fun mind game, even on the frustrating days!
