- PuzzlePage’s July archive lists July 26, 2025 as puzzle #1498 with the answer HAUNT.
- WordFinder’s archive listing gives the same date, puzzle number, and answer.
- PC Gamer’s same-day answer coverage also reports HAUNT.
One search result listed EXILE for the same date and puzzle number. That entry conflicts with every other source checked, so HAUNT is the answer to rely on. We did not find an official New York Times statement confirming the historical answer. Where a source is quoted, it is one of the archive or same-day coverage pages above.
Where to play
Wordle is played through the New York Times Wordle game page. Reading this answer page is free, and you do not need a New York Times subscription to read it. The archive listings are useful for checking past answers, but they do not replace the game itself, which is where new puzzles are played each day.
