Resolution criteria

The market resolves YES if the Wordle answer on Wednesday, January 15, 2026 is CHASM, which contains two vowels (A and A). The market resolves NO if the answer contains fewer than two vowels or only one unique vowel. Resolution can be verified at the official Wordle website (https://www.nytimes.com/games/wordle/) or any Wordle archive tracking the daily answers.

Background

Wordle is a daily word puzzle where players guess a five-letter word in six attempts. The New York Times acquired the game in 2022 and continues to release one puzzle per day. Vowel distribution varies significantly across answers—some days feature words with three or four vowels, while others use words with just one or none.

Considerations

The question specifies "repeated vowels allowed," meaning a word with two instances of the same vowel (like CHASM with two A's) counts as having at least two vowels. This clarification is important since some traders might initially interpret "two vowels" as requiring two distinct vowels.
