Wordle Answer #1788 - May 12, 2026

Happy May 12, 2026! If you’re working on Wordle puzzle #1788 and want a nudge (not a giveaway), you’re in the right place. Take a breath, grab a fresh start word, and let’s narrow it down.

• It’s a common everyday noun.
• You’ll see it in homes, schools, and workplaces.
• It’s tied to schedules and being on time.
• It can be a physical object or shown on a screen.

A big trap today is drifting into similar everyday nouns that fit early greens but don’t match the theme. Another pitfall is guessing a plural or adding a common ending that feels right, even when the puzzle wants something simpler. Try to stick with clean, basic words and watch your letter placement.

• There is 1 vowel (Y is not acting as a vowel).
• There are no repeated letters.
• It starts with C and ends with K.
• Pattern: C _ _ _ K
• Think of something you check when you need to know the time right now.

If you want the answer now, here it is. Last chance to look away if you’d rather keep guessing.
