Wordle answers — October 7, 2026 (#1936)

★Today's Wordle answer, explained

The answer is PROVE.

The puzzle, explained

PROVE was a pretty friendly Wordle once you locked down that O-E ending pattern, which is super common in English words. The real challenge was probably the V in the third position—it's not a letter that shows up constantly, so if you weren't thinking of words like DROVE or GROVE early on, you might've burned through some guesses before landing on it. The vowel placement was actually helpful since O and E are both fairly common and predictable in those spots, which narrowed things down nicely. Overall, it's the kind of word that rewards you for thinking of that less common consonant rather than defaulting to your usual suspects like R or S.
