Wordle answers for July 6‑7, 2026: TODAY and SLING

The New York Times‑hosted Wordle puzzle released its daily solutions for July 6 and July 7, 2026. The July 6 answer was "TODDY", hinted at by the clue “an alcoholic drink”. The July 7 answer was "SLING", indicated by the clue “to fling”.

Both articles note that Wordle was created by software engineer Josh Wardle as a personal gift, later purchased by the New York Times, and that its archive was removed from public access and now exists only for NYT Games subscribers. The pieces also mention common strategies for choosing starting words and the existence of fan‑made variants such as Heardle, Squabble, Dordle and Quordle.
