About Today’s Wordle
Wordle #1967 (published November 7, 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 on a slightly old-fashioned piece of vocabulary rather than a tricky letter arrangement, so the challenge is more “do I know this word” than “can I untangle these letters.”
Non-Spoiler Overview
Today’s word lives in the world of conversation and speech — specifically the kind of talking that goes on a bit too long without saying much. Think of the word you’d reach for to describe someone who just won’t stop rambling at a dinner party.
Difficulty-wise, this one sits in the medium range. The letter shape itself isn’t unusual, but the word is used less often in everyday writing than your typical Wordle answer, so solvers who lean on common five-letter patterns may need an extra guess to land on it.
The most common mistake today is fixating on more frequent words that share the same ending sound and letters, and not leaving room in your guesses to test the front of the word separately. If your board is mostly green with one stubborn gray letter up front, you’re very close.

Quick Strategy Tips
When a word feels like it belongs to a “style of talking or behaving” category, don’t just default to the most common word that fits the letter pattern — there’s often a less frequent synonym hiding behind the obvious one. Leave room in your guesses to test both.
If you land a guess that turns almost entirely green except for the very first letter, resist the urge to second-guess the rest of the word. Lock in what’s confirmed and focus your remaining guesses on just that one open position.
How I Solved Today’s Wordle
I started with AUDIO to map vowels. It flagged one vowel sitting in the word but in the wrong spot, and ruled out the other three vowels entirely — so I immediately knew I was working with a word that leaned on just two vowels total.
For my second guess, I leaned into a common five-letter ending shape I’d seen plenty of times before. The board lit up almost entirely green, with only the very first letter still coming back gray. That told me I had the whole back half of the word locked in and just needed to find the right letter to open it.
From there it came together quickly. Once I thought about what kind of word would fit that ending and also match the “talking too much” theme the hints were circling, the front letter clicked into place and the puzzle was solved.
[CLICK TO REVEAL: Full Walkthrough]
I started with AUDIO to map vowels. That confirmed A was in the word but in the wrong spot, and ruled out U, I, and O entirely — so I knew I was dealing with a word built on just two vowels. Rather than guess blindly, I went with GRATE next, since “-RATE” is such a common five-letter ending. The board lit up: R, A, T, and E all landed green immediately, with only the leading G coming back gray. That left exactly one letter to solve for — the front of the word — and swapping in P gave me PRATE, which fit the “idle chatter” theme the clues had been pointing toward the whole time.
FAQ: Common Sticking Points
