Thursday's Wordle Answer: SMELL
Wordle #1727 is SMELL — the olfactory sense, doubled up at the end. The double-L finish and single vowel made it a compact, efficient word that split players between solving it in two guesses and stalling on the repeated consonant.

- M — Position 2
- E — Position 3 (only vowel)

The last 10 Wordle answers were TEDDY, SHOAL, HASTY, LOBBY, VOGUE, GUNKY, SHEEP, THEFT, LINEN, and SLIME — none of those repeat in today's puzzle. Starting words heavy in common consonants like CRANE, STARE, or SLANT would have surfaced the S and L early, putting solvers on the right track within two guesses.
