If you find yourself breathing down the middle of the week, playing a quick game might help you unwind. So take a look at Wordle reply for today, May 30, 2024.
For the uninitiated, the goal of Wordle is to find a five-letter word in six guesses every day. The fewer guesses, the better – and if you don’t get it right at all, you’ll end your streak.
This is why training today’s Wordle answer is such a priority because players take pride in continuing their streak. 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 you.
Once you’ve got the hang of today’s word, learn more about Wordle and how the New York Times got interested in games in this interview with NYTimes gaming editor Jonathan Knight. In keeping with the theme of words, we also explained why the NYTimes Mini Crosswords are a reliable joy.
Clues for today’s Wordle answer
Instead of jumping straight to the answer, you may only need a few clues to cross the line:
- The word contains a vowel.
- This word has repetitive letters.
- It starts with “G”.
- As a name, it is the name of sweet.

Wordle answer for word 1076 from May 30, 2024
Even with the clues above, are you still not sure and want to continue with this?
The Wordle answer today is GUMMY.
To be honest, “GUMMY” is not an easy word to find due to the double “M” and only one vowel. I started with “STONY”, a word from a list of good starting terms and, to my surprise, I received a letter with it. Great, I just needed to find the other four letters. My second guess was “ENEMY” and my third was “TOMMY”. With these words I got the ending ‘MMY’ which is not as rare as I wanted in the English language. After “MOMMY” didn’t work, I settled on “GUMMY”. Soft! Puzzle completed.
Now you have the answer, don’t spoil it for others! Don’t forget that you can share your spoiler-free results in the form of a grid.
Of course, no one should know that you came to this page to solve the problem. Maybe start by making a couple of false assumptions to confuse them, perhaps?
The etymology of today’s Wordle
“GUMMY” comes from “GUM” which comes from the word “GOME” in Old French, used around the 13th century, to name the resin obtained from the dried sap of plants. We can also find in late Latin the word “GUMMA”. But “GUM” only began to be used to refer to a type of candy in 1827.
There are records indicating that “GUM” began to be used as an abbreviated form of chewing gum in American English in 1842.

What to play after Wordle
Once your daily Wordle is over, the question is: what are you going to play now?
You can of course try the other word games offered by the New York Times, such as Spelling Bee, Mini Crossword and Letter Boxed. You can also try your luck at Connections, the daily Sudokus and Tiles – a rather additive pattern matching game.

There are also a range of games that have tweaked 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 stick to the standard Wordle, while increasing the number of words you need to find. The challenge lies in how your guesses count for all words. So you need to decide whether you are going to focus on a specific word or try to solve multiple words at the same time. Fortunately, the number of guesses given to you increases as the number of words you have to solve.
If you want to take a break from spelling, try GeoGuessr. Here you will be given an image of somewhere, anywhere, in the world and asked to place a marker on where you think that location is. There is even an Old School RuneScape version.
Hope you enjoyed playing Wordle today!
