About Today’s Wordle
Wordle #1964 (published November 4, 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 puzzle leans into a playful double-meaning word that trips up solvers who lock onto the wrong definition early, so keep an open mind as you test your opening guesses.
Non-Spoiler Overview
Today’s word lives in that handy category of English where the same five letters cover two totally different situations: one is right at home in the kitchen or pantry aisle, and the other shows up when someone’s describing a wild idea or an eccentric personality. If your first instinct skews savory, you’re on the right track — just don’t let that stop you from considering the more casual, conversational use too.
Difficulty-wise, this one sits in the medium range. The letter pattern itself isn’t unusual, but a doubled consonant in the middle can throw off solvers who assume Wordle avoids repeated letters more often than it actually does. Players who treat every guess as a fresh information-gathering exercise tend to land on it within four or five tries.
The most common misstep today is guessing the right consonants early and then wasting a turn repeating one of them in the wrong slot instead of confirming new letters elsewhere. Another frequent trap is anchoring to the literal, food-related meaning and overlooking that the playful, everyday meaning fits just as well.
Hints
Theme / Domain
[CLICK TO REVEAL]
This word shows up often in cooking and snack-food writing — think granola, trail mix, or dessert descriptions — but it’s just as common in everyday conversation describing a person’s personality or a far-fetched idea.
Meaning Nudge
[CLICK TO REVEAL]
At its core, it describes something packed with a particular crunchy pantry ingredient. Informally, it’s also used to call an idea, plan, or person wonderfully (or worryingly) odd.
Part of Speech
[CLICK TO REVEAL]
It’s an adjective — the kind you’d use to describe a snack, a flavor, or, stretching the meaning a bit, a scheme someone just pitched you.
Tone / Register
[CLICK TO REVEAL]
The food-related sense is completely neutral and everyday. The slang sense is casual and a little playful, the kind of word you’d use with friends rather than in a formal report.
Usage Clue
[CLICK TO REVEAL]
You might hear it describing a new granola recipe, or just as easily describing your uncle’s latest get-rich-quick scheme.
Letter Pattern Help
Starting Letter
[CLICK TO REVEAL]
Starts with: N.
Ending Letter(s)
[CLICK TO REVEAL]
Ends with: Y.
Vowel Count
[CLICK TO REVEAL]
Just one traditional vowel appears, tucked right after the opening letter. Depending on how you count things, the final letter can also function as a soft vowel sound.
Repeated Letters
[CLICK TO REVEAL]
Yes — there’s a doubled consonant sitting in the middle of the word, exactly the kind of thing that trips up solvers who assume Wordle rarely repeats letters.
Pattern Shape
[CLICK TO REVEAL]
Final pattern: N U T T Y.
Rare/Tricky Letters
[CLICK TO REVEAL]
No unusual letters like Q, X, or Z here — the tricky part is purely the doubled consonant’s placement, not any single rare letter.
Rhyme or Analogy
[CLICK TO REVEAL]
It rhymes with words like “putty” and “smutty,” and conceptually it pairs well with words like “crazy” or “almond-flavored,” depending on which meaning you’re leaning toward.

Wordle #1964 Answer: NUTTY
Definition & Example
Definition
[CLICK TO REVEAL]
NUTTY — literally, containing, resembling, or flavored with nuts, as in a nutty granola bar. Informally, it also describes someone or something eccentric, foolish, or slightly crazy.
Example Usage
[CLICK TO REVEAL]
Example: “The toasted oat mix had a wonderfully nutty crunch, though her plan to sell it door-to-door still sounded a little nutty.”
Quick Strategy Tips
When a Wordle has a doubled consonant, your early guesses matter more than usual. Pick an opener that spreads out common consonants and vowels broadly, rather than one that clusters similar sounds, so you get the clearest possible read on which letters are in play before you start guessing where they sit.
If your second guess turns up a consonant in yellow, resist the urge to assume it only appears once. Today’s puzzle rewards solvers who stay open to a letter showing up twice, especially once you’ve already locked in the first and last letters.
How I Solved Today’s Wordle
I started with AUDIO to map vowels, which is my go-to opener because it covers four of the five vowels in one shot. Today it came back mostly gray, which immediately told me this puzzle was going to lean heavily on consonants rather than a vowel-rich word.
For my second guess, I switched to a word loaded with common consonants to test a different swath of the alphabet. That guess turned up a couple of promising yellow tiles, which gave me a rough sense of which letters belonged in the word even though I still didn’t know their exact positions.
From there, the picture came together fast. Once I had the opening letter locked in green and a strong hunch about the ending, it was really just a matter of testing whether one of the middle consonants doubled up — and sure enough, that’s exactly what cracked the puzzle open.
[CLICK TO REVEAL: Full Walkthrough]
I started with AUDIO to map vowels. That came back almost entirely gray except for a faint signal on the U, which told me this word probably leaned on just one vowel rather than two or three. Next I played a consonant-heavy word like STERN to test common letters — that turned up a yellow N and a yellow T, letting me know both belonged in the word, just not in those spots. With N looking like a likely starting letter and T somewhere in the mix, I tried a guess that opened with N and placed T in the middle. The result came back with N locked in green at the front and T landing in yellow again, which was the clue that it probably doubled up. From there, NUTTY lined up cleanly: the N-U-T-T-Y frame fit the doubled consonant pattern and the Y ending I’d been circling, and it slotted into place on my next guess.
