The Wordle Puzzle That Stumped Illinoisans the Most in 2024

This one word broke the most Wordle winning streaks in Illinois in 2024...do you think you know what it is?

Do You Still Play Wordle?

Do you remember back in 2021 when the puzzle game Wordle became all the rage and your day was completely ruined if you failed at guessing the daily word correctly? I sure do!

I believe it was late 2022 when I gave up playing Wordle, primarily because I found myself cheating more than legitimately winning, so I took that as a sign to give it up. (Honestly, I don't enjoy feeling stupid.)

Several people I know still play the game, (Yup, I'm looking at you, Sweet Lenny. LOL!), and I always know they've had a tough run when the day goes by and no Wordle wins have been shared on social media.

It's probably a good thing I gave up playing because Illinois' most hated Wordle puzzle in 2024 would have totally broken any winning steak I might have had going, (without cheating by Googling).

Hardest Wordle Puzzles of 2024

Experts at Word Unscrambler recently analyzed Google Trends search data from January 1, 2024 to December 31 ,202 for the term "Wordle Hint" and discovered that the Wordle puzzle on May 5, 2024 was the hardest one for Illinoisans to figure out. Do you remember the correct word from that day? It was....DECAL.

If that five letter word had you stumped on May 5, don't worry, it was also the toughest Wordle challenge for neighboring states like Wisconsin, Iowa, and Indiana too.

So, what were some of the other hardest Wordle puzzles in 2024?

Word Unscrambler's findings determined that Minnesota and Maine battled with “BEVEL” on May 26, 2024, while states like Nebraska and South Carolina wrestled with “JOLLY” on April 21, 2024.

Several states battled with the words "OUTER", "BRAWN", and "BUGLE" too, but the title for America's hardest Wordle puzzle in 2024 officially goes to.... "DECAL", so we were in good company Illinois!
