Not ready for the answer yet? These five hints will nudge you in the right direction without giving the game away.
Today’s Wordle has no repeated letters — all five characters are unique.
There are two standard vowels in today’s word, plus one letter that sometimes acts as a vowel.
Today’s Wordle begins with the letter T.
Today’s Wordle ends with the letter Y.
This word describes a person who flatters or sycophantically fawns over a boss or person in power — think Mr Smithers from The Simpsons.
Wordle Answer for 18 April 2026
Today’s answer is TOADY — a noun and verb meaning to act in a sycophantic way, or the person doing so. A toady is someone who flatters or defers to those in power in an obsequious manner, often to gain personal favour. The word is believed to derive from “toad-eater,” a historical term for a charlatan’s assistant who would pretend to eat toads (considered poisonous) to let their employer appear to cure them — making it one of the more colourful origins in the English language.
If you’re a fan of pop culture references, Mr Smithers from The Simpsons is the classic toady archetype — always eager to please Mr Burns at any cost. It’s an unusual word for Wordle, which may have tripped up players who didn’t land on it through process of elimination.
How Did We Do Today?
TOADY is a tricky one. The T and Y start and end combination gives useful anchors for strong openers, but the word itself isn’t in everyday use, which could catch players off guard. Those who thought of synonyms for “sycophant” or leaned on the pop culture hint would have fared best. How many attempts did it take you?
