Unfortunately, Monday has rudely decided to return again, but we can forget about it for a short time while trying to work out the Wordle answer for today, 15th April.
For the uninitiated, the aim of Wordle is to work out a daily five-letter word within six guesses. The fewer the guesses, the better – and if you fail to guess it at all, you’ll break your streak.
The latter is why working out today’s Wordle answer is such a priority, as players pride themselves on keeping their streak going. So why gamble on a risky final guess when you can learn a few clues and, failing that, get the definitive answer? This page can help with that.
Once you have today’s word, learn more about Wordle and how the New York Times became interested in games in this interview with Jonathan Knight, Head of Games for the NYTimes. In keeping with the word theme, we’ve also discussed why The NYTimes Mini Crossword is a reliable joy.
Clues for today’s Wordle answer
Instead of going straight to the answer, you might only need a few hints to get you over the line:
- There are three vowels in this word.
- There are no repeating letters.
- The second letter is ‘Q’.
- As for a definition, this word can be used when describing fitting or providing someone or something with objects that are necessary for a purpose (and is also something you do in RPGs a lot).
Still not sure? Read on for the answer.

Even with the above clues, still not sure and want to keep that streak going?
The Wordle answer today is EQUIP.
What a lovely streak break to start off my Monday. Once again, my starting words of ‘FOURS’ and ‘CHANT’ were almost useless, so I didn’t get anywhere until my last, and wrong, attempt at ‘PIPER’. Hopefully the clues above helped you keep your own streak going!
Now you have the answer, do not spoil it for others! Remember, you can share your results spoiler-free in the form of a grid.
Of course, no one has to know you came to this page to work it out. Maybe put in two or three fake guesses first to throw them off the scent, perhaps?
Today’s Wordle etymology
Today’s word, ‘EQUIP’, might actually come from the Old Norse word ‘SKIPA’, meaning to ‘arrange, place in order’, usually when referring to a ship (‘SKIP’ means ‘SHIP’). However, its last known traceable roots are in the Old French word ‘ESQUIPER’. This means to ‘fit out a ship, load on board’. It just goes to show how important ships were to both the French and Norse that such a common word was derived from its terminology.

What to play after Wordle
With your daily Wordle completed, the question is – what shall you play now?
You can, of course, try out the other word-based games offered by the New York Times, like Spelling Bee, the Mini Crossword and Letter Boxed. You can also take a crack at Connections, the daily Sudokus and Tiles – a rather additive motif matching game.

There’s also a range of games which have put a twist on the Wordle formula. Squaredle challenges you to find a series of words by connecting letters in a four by four grid. Meanwhile Dordle, Quorodly, Octordly and Sedecordle all keep to the standard Wordle, while increasing the number of words you have to find. The challenge comes in how your guesses count for all of the words, so you need to decide whether you’re going to focus on a specific word or try to solve multiple words at the same time. Thankfully, the number of guesses you’re given increases alongside the amount of words you’re expected to solve.
If you want a break from spelling though, try GeoGuessr. Here you’ll be given a picture of somewhere, anywhere, in the world and have to place a marker on where you think that location is. There’s even an Old School RuneScape version.
Hope you enjoyed playing Wordle today!
