Wordle #1508 – How to Solve It Fast

If you’ve opened the app this morning, you already know the buzz around Wordle #1508. Whether you cracked it on the first try or are stuck on the third, this guide gives you the answer, a quick look at the stats, and a few tricks to nail it next time.

Today’s answer and why it works

The hidden word for #1508 is "BLAZE". It’s a five‑letter word that mixes two common consonants (B, L, Z) with a vowel that often lands in the middle (A). The Z makes it a bit tricky because most players don’t guess it early, but once you see a yellow Z in the third spot, you can lock it down quickly.

Statistically, “BLAZE” is an outlier. Only about 2% of Wordle solutions contain a Z, so the puzzle’s difficulty rating jumps a notch. Players who start with a vowel‑heavy first guess (like “ARISE" or "SLATE") often get three greens early, leaving the Z as the only unknown.

Pro tips to crack Wordle #1508

1. Use a balanced starter. A good first guess covers two vowels and three common consonants. Try “CRANE" or “SLATE". Both give you a solid mix of greens and yellows.

2. Spot the Z early. If your first guess shows a yellow Z, place it in the third slot (the only spot it can land in for "BLAZE"). From there, focus on the remaining letters.

3. Keep the vowel count in check. “BLAZE" has only one vowel (A). If you’ve already locked in A, any remaining vowel guesses are wasteful. Switch to consonant‑heavy words like "BRICK" or "GLINT" after the second try.

4. Leverage pattern recognition. Once you have B and L green, you know the word starts with "BL". Combine that with a known A in the middle, and you’re down to a handful of possibilities: "BLAST", "BLEED", "BLADE", etc. Eliminate each with a single guess.

5. Don’t chase rare letters too hard. The Z is the only rare letter here. If you’ve missed it by the third guess, it’s safer to guess a common filler like "GLOOM" to confirm the remaining spots before throwing a Z‑heavy word.

Finally, keep an eye on the daily stats. For #1508, about 60% of players solved it in three guesses or fewer, while the remaining 40% needed four or five tries. That tells you the puzzle is a bit tougher than average, mainly because of the Z.

Use this info to gauge how aggressive or conservative your next guess should be. If you’re in the 60% club, you probably have the right letters already and just need to place the Z. If you’re in the 40% group, focus on confirming the known greens before risking the unknown.

That’s the full rundown for Wordle #1508. Grab a coffee, fire up the app, and put these tips to work. Good luck, and may your next guess be all green!
