Did you guess it yet? If not, here comes the reveal...

The Wordle answer for July 25 is: GOFER

What Does “Gofer” Mean?

“Gofer” is a word used for someone who is asked to "go for" things — like coffee, files, or snacks. It’s often used in offices or on movie sets, where someone might say, “Hey, go for lunch” or “Go for the script.” That’s why it’s called gofer — short for “go for.”

Even though it sounds like “gopher,” the little animal, this word has a very different meaning!
