Wordle answers — September 21, 2026 (#1920)

★Today's Wordle answer, explained

The answer is PAGER.

The puzzle, explained

PAGER was a pretty forgiving Wordle once you got those vowels locked in—A and E in the middle positions are pretty standard, and most people probably had at least one of them early on. The main trap was that P and R are both common consonants, so it's easy to guess words like PAPER or PARER before landing on the right combo. If you started with a vowel-heavy guess like ADIEU, you were in great shape since you'd quickly nail down both the A and E, leaving just the consonants to figure out. All in all, it's the kind of answer that rewards a methodical approach rather than lucky pattern-guessing.
