Wordle Answer for 18 May 2026
Today’s Wordle #1794 answer is: LOATH
Don’t confuse it with its close cousin — loath is an adjective, while loathe is a verb. You might be loath to admit defeat, but if you truly despise something, you loathe it. The word traces back to Old English lāth, meaning hostile or hateful, and has been part of the language for over a thousand years. It’s a fairly unusual choice for Wordle, which is what makes today’s puzzle particularly tricky for many players.
How Did We Do Today?
Today’s puzzle sits firmly in the hard category. The L–H ending is unusual, and the easy mix-up with loathe likely sent plenty of players down the wrong path. If you cracked it in three or four, that’s a solid result. If it took five or six, you’re in good company — share your score in the comments or on social media and let us know how you got on.
