February 1, 2025 Wordle answer
RIVET was the solution to Wordle #1323 on Saturday, February 1, 2025. The date and number are supported by the Wordle.today historical answer archive and contemporary coverage from The Economic Times.
Why the title says #1688
The date and puzzle number in the original title refer to different years. February 1, 2025 was #1323; #1688 corresponds to February 1, 2026. Coverage of that later puzzle reports its answer as SPINY, including Forbes and GameAnswers. Those are separate archived puzzles, so SPINY is not the answer for February 1, 2025.
How Wordle clues work
Wordle is a five-letter puzzle with up to six guesses. Each guess gives feedback that helps narrow down the answer:
