About Today’s Wordle
Wordle #1914 (published September 15, 2026) gives you six guesses to find a five-letter word. Green = correct letter in the right spot, yellow = in the word but wrong spot, gray = not in the word. Today’s solution is a common past-tense verb with no repeated letters, and a vowel pairing tucked into the middle of the word.
Non-Spoiler Overview
Think card games, tough situations, and things being handed out or handled. The answer shows up when someone “____ with a problem,” a dealer “____ the cards,” or a setback “____ a blow” to someone’s plans.
The letter set is everyday — no rare consonants — but the challenge is landing the vowel order in the middle and the frame around it. If you’ve got a yellow or two and it still feels slippery, rotate common openers and closers around that vowel pair before spending guesses on unusual letters.
Players who stall today usually do so by fixating on present-tense “handle” words, or by finding the vowels but misplacing the opening consonant.

Wordle #1914 Answer: DEALT
Definition & Example
Definition

Example Usage
[CLICK TO REVEAL]

Quick Strategy Tips
When you suspect two vowels close together, test a few common two-letter vowel pairings early rather than guessing them one at a time. A probe that places a vowel pair in the middle while rotating common consonants often narrows the board fast.
Also, don’t overlook everyday past-tense verbs — they’re frequent Wordle answers with simple letter sets but tricky placement. If your grid points to a hard consonant on each end, lock that frame before chasing rarer letters.
If you’ve got two yellow vowels but the order feels off, try swapping them once before burning a guess on a totally new consonant set.
How I Solved Today’s Wordle
I started with AUDIO to map vowels. That flagged A and D as present but misplaced, with nothing else landing. Next I played STEAL to test the vowel pair in order and bring in common consonants — that confirmed the vowel order and pointed toward a hard opening letter.
[CLICK TO REVEAL: Full Walkthrough]
From there, DEALT lined up cleanly: the D…T frame fit the remaining greys/yellows, and the middle L clicked the pattern into place for the win.
It felt tricky mid-game with two plausible vowel orders on the table, but locking the vowel pair first — then the outer frame — was the turning point.
FAQ: Common Sticking Points
How many vowels are in today’s Wordle?
Two.
Is there a double letter?
No — all letters are unique.
Any tricky letters?
Not especially. The challenge is confirming the vowel order and the D…T frame before near-misses eat your guesses.
