Wordle June 21 2026 answer revealed as ALIBI

The daily Wordle puzzle for June 21 2026 has the solution **ALIBI**, a five‑letter word that starts with A and contains a double I. The game’s hint described the answer as “an excuse.”

Mashable notes that Wordle was created by engineer Josh Wardle, later bought by The New York Times, which now limits access to its archive to NYT Games subscribers. The article also explains how players can use strategic starting words with multiple vowels and common consonants, and mentions the optional Hard Mode for increased difficulty.

Both pieces explain that Wordle remains a worldwide phenomenon despite the archive removal, with millions still playing the puzzle each day.
