Today's Wordle answer is ready — we'll offer a few gentle clues first, then reveal the word further down. If you want to solve it yourself, read only the hints; if you're stuck or short on time, scroll to the answer. The hints come first to keep the game fun for those who want to try before seeing the solution.

For context, Wordle #1732 has been rated average difficulty by many players — not an immediate giveaway, but not brutally obscure either. One vowel and no repeated letters mean you can fill spots more quickly once positioned. Read the three spoiler-free hints and one stronger clue below; they should guide you toward the pattern without outright giving the word away.

Hints (spoiler-free)

  1. Starts with the letter C.
  2. Contains one vowel.
  3. Does not have repeated letters.

Stronger hint: To fasten a garment, like a robe, with a small brooch or similar device.

ANSWER

CLASP

This puzzle has an average difficulty rating of 3 guesses out of 6 for many players. The single vowel can be pinpointed with a vowel-heavy starter like ADIEU, which yellows A, and words like STAMP then green A and P while yellowing S. Players who grabbed the vowel early with ADIEU or similar, then used STAMP to position it while probing common consonants like S, T, and P, often finished quickly; those overlooking the consonant cluster sometimes needed an extra turn.

Meaning & usage

Plain-English definition: A fastening, as a hook, buckle, or catch, to hold two things or parts together.

Part of speech: noun.

Example sentences:

  • She used a clasp to secure her necklace.
  • He gave her hand a firm clasp.

Note: CLASP is spelled C‑L‑A‑S‑P and features one vowel with no repeated letters. Starting with ADIEU confirms A early, setting up the rest.

Quick solving tip

If vowels appear in green or yellow after your opener, test words like STAMP to lock in positions while probing consonants; for CLASP, vowel coverage first reveals A, then incorporating letters like S, T, and P builds the framework efficiently—much like tackling common terms rather than obscure ones such as aardvark. In general, when one vowel pairs with distinct consonants, prioritize vowel-heavy starters followed by consonant-testing words to narrow possibilities fast and avoid scattering guesses.
