Sunday’s Wordle puzzle, number 1814, brings a fairly straightforward five-letter word to wrap up the weekend. Players struggling with the June 7 challenge can find relief, as a daily CNET breakdown confirms the final answer is THUMB.
The hints for today point to a word with five unique letters and exactly one vowel. It begins with the letter T and ends with the letter B, defined simply as the short, thick first digit on a hand. This weekend’s puzzle directly follows Saturday’s solution, which was MORPH.
The daily word game originally launched as a private passion project coded by software engineer Josh Wardle for his partner. After going viral during the pandemic, the game was purchased by The New York Times, a transition covered in a historical Mashable retrospective that details how it became the anchor of the publisher’s digital games division.
The sustained success of Wardle’s creation triggered an entire ecosystem of daily puzzle spin-offs. The New York Times expanded its own roster with games like Connections and Strands, while third-party developers launched variations like Quordle and Heardle.
