If you're a fan of Wordle, we've got some good news for you. Not too long ago, Wordle's creator came up with another game, Parseword, that tests your cryptic crossword-solving skills. There are layers to this one, making it noticeably more difficult to solve than its six-letter word counterpart.

Parseword #67 hints
April 5, 2026's Parseword answer focuses on six different words that you can replace. If you don't want to know the answer right away, you'll find some hints below that'll guide you in the right direction.
Hint one
Today's solution is two words rather than one. We need one six-letter word and one four-letter word to complete this sequence.
Hint two
This puzzle uses two replacements and a container transformation. Rather than focusing on the entire six-word phrase, split it into sections to see how various combinations work together.
Hint three
"Global conflict" is your best starting point. From here, you'll be able to narrow down your options with the rest of the phrase.
Hint four
You can replace an entire phrase with a shorter counterpart. Try this with phrases like "having a channel."
Hint five
Although "about" by itself has replacement options, it also has a container transformation that we can use in this sequence. Leave this until the end once you have both replacements solved.
Parseword #67 answer
Today's solution combines replacements and containers to create two words. Here's a complete step-by-step to solving today's Parseword puzzle:
- Select "global conflict" and replace them with "WWI"
- Select "having a channel" and replace it with "Slotted"
- Select "Slotted about WWI" and replace it with "Slow Witted"
The final solution is "Slow Witted," an adjective used to describe someone or something that isn't too bright.
How do you play Parseword?
Parseword is a cryptic crossword game that asks you to solve puzzles by transforming words in a given phrase. This can involve reducing, combining, or rearranging words through around. Your ultimate goal is to find a phrase's defining word using the options given to you.
Most of Parseword revolves around the following transformation types:
- Replacement - Replacing a word with a synonym or abbreviation.
- Joining - Combining two or more words.
- Container - Inserting a word or phrase into another.
- Selection - Singling out letters from a word or phrase.
- Anagram - Rearranging the letters in a word or phrase to create another.
- Deletion - Removing letters from a word or phrase.
- Reverse - Reversing the letters in a given word or phrase.
- Hidden Word - Selects connected letters in a word or phrase, removing the rest.
- Homophone - Changes a word into a letter that sounds the same.
- Translation - Translate a word from one language to another.
Every transformation type has accompanying words, phrases, or letters that relate to these respective types. For example, if you're trying to make an anagram, selecting a word that suggests movement, chaos, or change in any way will usually get you there. Similarly, if you want to delete a letter, finding a word that suggests removal will often do the trick. Selecting a word will show you your potential options.
Visiting the Parseword website will immediately prompt you with a helpful tutorial and a Parseword 101 section that'll teach you the basics of playing, including some helpful tips and tricks:
- Every Parseword puzzle includes a solution that tells you the number of letters in the final word.
- Most of Parseword involves wordplay to transform words. For example, you can trim using words like "reduce," reverse a word using "backwards," or combine words by selecting multiple choices at once.
- Focus on identifying action words first to see how they can transform any surrounding nouns, verbs, or adjectives. These identifiers are always underlined.
- There's no shame in experimenting and undoing your choice if it means learning more information about your current puzzle.
