Wordle #1875 Answer for August 7, 2026: FEIGN
Today’s Wordle answer is FEIGN, a verb meaning to simulate or pretend – to project an emotion, illness, or intention that is not genuine. To feign surprise is to act surprised when one is not. To feign illness is to claim sickness without having it. The word traces to Old French feindre and Latin fingere, the same root behind fiction, figment, and effigy. That lineage explains why FEIGN carries a specific edge: it implies not just pretending but crafting a false impression with deliberate intent.
The structural challenge is the EI vowel pair in positions two and three. FEIGN sits in the same reversed-expectation territory as WEIRD: the I-before-E rule most solvers absorb early says E comes before I, so the E-I order here runs against instinct. The GN ending compounds the difficulty further. GN is a rare letter pair in five-letter Wordle words, with REIGN and DEIGN as the closest relatives. Solvers who confirmed the F and the N early may still have burned a guess on FROWN, FLOWN, or FERN before the E-I combination clicked into place.
The reported average of 5.1 guesses tracks with that profile. Common opening words like CRANE, SLATE, and STARE surface the E but miss the F-I-G-N cluster entirely. Players who tested FIEND or FINED midway through their solve were one transposition away from the answer: the difference between FINED and FEIGN is knowing the vowels are reversed, and the G sits between them rather than at the end.
