Still thinking? Scroll slowly—spoilers ahead. Today’s Wordle answer for October 21 The solution to Wordle #1585 is DETOX. Word breakdown D – Many players begin with words like “DREAM” or “DRIVE,” so that opening consonant might have turned green early. E – The most common vowel quickly narrows possibilities. T – A high-value green/yellow tile because it often appears at the end; here it sits in the middle. O – Second vowel confirms the word’s pattern _E_TO_. X – The curveball. Once X shows up yellow, choices dwindle to just DETOX. Winning strategies that worked today 1. Open with a balanced starter (e.g., SLATE, CRONE) to reveal both vowels fast. 2. Prioritize high-frequency consonants (R, S, T, N, L). When none turned up green, many deduced a less common finisher like X or Z. 3. Use elimination rows: after three tries, words such as PESTO, GETUP, and METRO help test leftover consonants without repeating known grays. Yesterday’s answer If you missed puzzle #1584 on Monday, October 20, the word was LIMBO. Knowing recent solutions helps avoid repeats—Wordle rarely recycles words within a few months. Tips to keep your streak alive this week • Rotate two solid openers: one vowel-heavy (AUDIO) and one consonant-rich (STERN). • Track eliminated letters on paper; visual grids cut guess time by up to 30 %. • Save “rare” letters (J, Q, X, Z) for guess 4 unless clues point there sooner, as today’s puzzle did. Share without spoiling Copy your emoji grid (no letters revealed) and post to social media to compare paths with friends. A 3/6 or better is impressive today given the final X.
