With a new day comes a new word to solve this problem Tuesdayand we can help you with the Wordle response for today, April 9.
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:
- There is a vowel in this word, and it is a repeating letter.
- This word starts with “M”.
- If you put an “E” at the beginning of this word, you would form another word.
- As for a definition, this word can be used to describe the process of combining two or more things.

Wordle answer for word 1025 from April 9, 2024
Even with the clues above, are you still not sure and want to continue with this?
The Wordle answer today is MERGE.
It wasn’t a good start to the day for me, as I struggled for a long time to guess “VERGE” for my last attempt. It was between ‘DERGE’, ‘MERGE’ and ‘VERGE’ for this last guess, so it would have been completely coincidental if I had finally guessed correctly. I hope the clues above have helped you continue your own streak!
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
Today’s word, ‘MERGE’, is yet another word of Latin origin, the original idea being ‘MERGERE’, which meant ‘to plunge, dip, submerge or submerge’. There are likely Latvian and Lithuanian influences in this Latin variation, with probable inspirations “MAZOJU” and “MAZGOTI” (“to wash”) coming from Latvia and Lithuania respectively.
As you can see, the meaning has changed from its original meaning to a word that generally describes two or more things that combine with each other to create something new.

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!
