Looking for Monday's Wordle hints, clues and answer? You can find them here:
We're very nearly at Wordle #1400, though that leaves us with just under 1,000 more five-letter words to go through before we run out. What then? I keep hoping Wordle will evolve into a 6-letter game, which would be just a tiny bit more challenging.
In any case, let's solve today's!
The Hint: Pale.
The Clue: This Wordle begins with a vowel.
Okay, spoilers below!

BLADE was actually a pretty decent opening guess, leaving me with two yellow boxes and just 112 possible solutions. AGENT cut that down to four, and popped the yellow 'A' into green. I debated between AGENT, ANNEX and APNEA (one I didn't think of, despite living in an area filled with them, was ASPEN). I chose ASHEN and got lucky.

Just like yesterday, I get 1 point for guessing in three and zero for tying the Bot, which is exactly what the Bot also gets. Our April totals are now:
Erik: 6 points
Wordle Bot: 10 points
The word "ashen" comes from the Old English "æsce" meaning ash tree or ash (the residue of fire), combined with the adjectival suffix "-en", which means made of or resembling. So, "ashen" originally meant made of ash or resembling ash, especially in color—pale gray.

Elon Musk's baby mama says she's broke and starting a podcast to survive
Ashley St. Clair, the 26-year-old mother of Elon Musk 's youngest son, says she is broke and on the verge of eviction. To make ends meet, the former conservative commentator has launched a podcast on X — the San Francisco-based social media platform owned by Musk — in hopes of covering rent for her $15,000-a-month New York City apartment. 'Well, after a year of unplanned career suicide, many questionable life choices and a gap in my LinkedIn profile that cannot be legally explained, I've decided to start a podcast,' she said in the debut episode of 'Bad Advice with Ashley St. Clair' on Monday, Aug. 18. 'Not because anybody asked, but because statistically speaking, it was either join this or join a (multi-level marketing scheme). So here we are.' St. Clair revealed in February that she had given birth to Musk's son, Romulus, in September 2024. A paternity test reviewed by the Wall Street Journal reportedly confirmed Musk is the father, making Romulus his 13th known child. The disclosure triggered a custody battle and a dispute over financial support. bad advice ep. 1 brought to u by @Polymarket — Ashley St. Clair (@stclairashley) August 18, 2025 According to St. Clair, Musk once offered her $15 million and monthly payments in exchange for keeping the child's birth private. She declined the offer and later accused him of slashing her child support by more than half. Musk has said he gave her $2.5 million and was paying $500,000 annually, though her lawyer said payments fell from $100,000 a month to as low as $20,000. 'I'm getting evicted and Polymarket offered me $10,000 to do an ad read,' St. Clair said on the podcast, referring to the American cryptocurrency-based prediction market, headquartered in Manhattan. 'So with that, the roof over my head has been brought to you by Polymarket.' The podcast also veered into darker humor. St. Clair joked about the recent assault of 19-year-old Musk aide Edward Coristine, known as 'Big Balls.' She compared his injuries, such as a bloody nose, to those she sustained 'after I told my toddler he couldn't watch 'Paw Patrol.'' 'He was with his girlfriend, or lady partner — whatever the Musk orbit calls their non-committal fluid breeding vessel contenders these days,' St. Clair said of the assault that prompted President Donald Trump to deploy the National Guard in Washington, DC. 'He got his ass beat so bad, some are calling it reparations. I'm not, of course. I would never do that. But what I don't understand is why you didn't just let them take the car?'

Wordle hints today for #1,522: Clues and answer for Tuesday, August 19
Hey, there! We hope your week is off to a terrific start. One thing that can help with that is to extend your Wordle streak. Here's our daily Wordle guide with some hints and the answer for Tuesday's puzzle (#1,522). It may be that you're a Wordle newcomer and you're not completely sure how to play the game. We're here to help with that too. What is Wordle? Wordle is a deceptively simple daily word game that first emerged in 2021. There is one five-letter word to deduce every day by process of elimination. The daily word is the same for everyone. Wordle blew up in popularity in late 2021 after creator Josh Wardle made it easy for players to share an emoji-based grid with their friends and followers that detailed how they fared each day. The game's success spurred dozens of clones across a swathe of categories and formats. The New York Times purchased Wordle in early 2022 for an undisclosed sum. The publication said that players collectively played Wordle 5.3 billion times in 2024. So, it's little surprise that Wordle is one of the best online games and puzzles you can play daily. How to play Wordle To start playing Wordle, you simply need to enter one five-letter word. The game will tell you how close you are to that day's secret word by highlighting letters that are in the correct position in green. Letters that appear in the word but aren't in the right spot will be highlighted in yellow. If you guess any letters that are not in the secret word, the game will gray those out on the virtual keyboard. However, you can still use those letters in subsequent guesses. You'll only have six guesses to find each day's word, though you still can use grayed-out letters to help narrow things down. It's also worth remembering that letters can appear in the secret word more than once. Wordle is free to play on the NYT's website and apps, as well as on Meta Quest headsets and Discord. The game refreshes at midnight local time. If you log into a New York Times account, you can track your stats, including the all-important win streak. How to play Wordle more than once a day If you have a NYT subscription that includes full access to the publication's games, you don't have to stop after a single round of Wordle. You'll have access to an archive of more than 1,500 previous Wordle games. So if you're a relative newcomer, you'll be able to go back and catch up on previous editions. In addition, paid NYT Games members have access to a tool called the Wordle Bot. This can tell you how well you performed at each day's game.
