Start your Memorial day weekend right with today’s Wordle answer for May 28th.

Previous Wordle Answers

You can guess these words if you like, but they’ve been used in Wordle within the last month or so, meaning they definitely won’t show up again. They’re only good for eliminating possible letters, but at least you know what not to guess!

Today’s Wordle Answer May 28th

The Wordle answer today is crept.

Irregular past tense participles are going out of fashion these days, and a lot of people would ditch it and use something like “creeped” instead.

This is an example of a linguistic phenomenon called regularization, where through common usage irregular word forms are replaced with more typical ones - even if they’re not technically ‘correct’.

It’s a common occurrence not just with young and second-language learners, but native speakers as well.

Regularizing past tense words tends to be more common in American English, which is why this Wordle might have been more difficult if you’re from the US or learned - or should I say ‘learnt’ - US English.

There are tons more word-based puzzle games out there to try - give these Wordle alternatives a go.
