Today’s Wordle is ending winning streaks

• The word game for May 25 is stumping some users who are taking to social media to vent, while others are searching for hints, according to Google Trends data.

Flashback: Earlier this month, the New York Times swapped out the May 9 Wordle word after discovering that the five-letter answer, fetus, relates to Roe v. Wade.

• The swap was part of a long-running debate about how politically charged games should be.

What they’re saying: “Stinker of a word today, good luck wordlers,” one user wrote on Twitter.

• “Wordle 340 is going to annoy many with that 1st letter...I can attest to that,” one Twitter user wrote.
• “It’s another one of *those* words, folks. Tread carefully!” another user tweeted Wednesday.

Spoiler: The Cambridge Dictionary defines the winning word as “to be able from your knowledge or experience to say that something is true.”

• It's a word that rhymes with a couple more popular words, one of which is a popular piece of furniture.
