Wordle was a hit game that kinda came out of nowhere. It seemed like in 2022 everyone was addicted to this little 5-letter word puzzle that had you guessing the word by nature of letting you know which letters are in the right spot or which letters are included but needs to be placed in a different spot.

Once you give it a shot, it's a pretty fun game.

Even years later people are still playing Wordle.

The good people of Unscrambler found the most difficult word for each state including Washington State to see which word stumped Washington the most in 2025.

Hardest WORDLE of 2025

Washington State's hardest Wordle word of 2025 is DOWEL.

Yeah, I'm not sure I would get that in so many guesses, either.

Dowel isn't a word I typically use ever. It's a wooden peg typically used to keep wooden frames in place like a wooden bed frame or something.

Dowel isn't just the most difficult word to get for Washington State in 2025 but it's also the hardest word for Idaho.

Oregon's most difficult word was FUGUE while California's word was WHOLE.
