Wordle answers — November 2, 2026 (#1962)

★Today's Wordle answer, explained

The answer is SCOOT.

The puzzle, explained

SCOOT was a tricky one because that double O in the middle is pretty uncommon in Wordle answers, so unless you were actively thinking about repeated vowels, it could easily trip you up. The two O's sitting right next to each other is such an unusual pattern that most people probably guessed words with different vowels first. On the bright side, S and T are both super common letters, so you'd likely have locked those in by your second or third guess. If you nailed it quickly, you probably benefited from experience with less common letter combos—but if it took you a few tries, you're definitely not alone on this one.
