Puzzle 1955 Monday October 26, 2026
An adjective. Describes someone deeply into a niche subject. The kind of passion that goes well past casual interest. E is the only common Wordle letter in the answer and it appears twice. Most strong openers came back nearly empty. NYT testers averaged 4.6 guesses.

Alphabetical List of All Wordle Past Answers
Use this past Wordle words list to check whether a specific word has already appeared as a Wordle answer. Words shown in yellow have been used twice since NYT started repeating answers in February 2026. Click any letter to jump straight to that section.
Remaining Wordle Words — How Many Are Still Unused?
With 1,952 puzzles played since June 2021, a large share of the Wordle word list has been used. Here is what the data shows about remaining Wordle words and the unused Wordle words list. This section explains what that means for players trying to narrow down each day’s answer.
Can You Use the Archive to Eliminate Guesses?
Yes, to a degree. Every word in the alphabetical list above has already been an answer. Since Wordle accepted all of them as valid guesses regardless, they are still playable as guesses. But knowing a word appeared in 2022 as an answer does not guarantee it will not appear again, since NYT began repeating answers in February 2026.
The most practical use of this archive for active players is checking whether a word you are considering as a guess was a recent answer. If it was used in the last few months, it is unlikely but not impossible to appear again soon.
Why We Do Not Publish a “Never Used” Words List
NYT has not made its complete answer pool public. Any site claiming to list every word that has never been a Wordle answer is working from an unofficial source or making estimates. The archive on this page is built entirely from verified past answers recorded daily since puzzle 0. It tells you exactly what has been used. What has not been used is the remainder of a private list, so we do not claim to know it precisely.
What the data does show: roughly 350 common five-letter words remain in the pool based on the gap between the estimated pool size (~2,300) and the 1,952 answers used so far. That pool is getting smaller every day.

Wordle Answers That Have Been Used Twice
NYT started repeating past Wordle answers in February 2026. Since then, 27 words have appeared for a second time. No word has been used more than twice. SANDY has the shortest gap between appearances at 524 days. MAJOR waited the longest at 1,918 days before coming back.

How Often Does Wordle Repeat Past Answers?
Since repeats started in February 2026, roughly one past answer has come back every 10 to 15 days based on the 27 repeats recorded so far. The median gap between first and second appearance and its repeat is 4.6 years across these 27 cases, which means words from 2021 and early 2022 make up most of the repeats seen so far. That is a pattern in the data, not a guarantee of how NYT will schedule future repeats. Wordle has shown a note on repeat puzzles in most recorded cases, though NYT has not officially confirmed this as a standing policy.
Wordle Answer Statistics
Patterns across 1,954 past Wordle answers and previously used words including which letters appear most often, which words broke players, and how difficulty has shifted over time.
Hardest Past Wordle Answers
These puzzles produced the worst average scores across all players. JIFFY, JAZZY, and MOMMY all feature double letters that most starting words do not expose. PSHAW tripped people up because it starts with PSH, a pattern almost no common word shares. ALOHA caught players off guard despite being a well-known word because the letter pattern is unusual for Wordle guessing strategies.
| Rank | Word | Date | Avg Guesses | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | JIFFY | Jul 12, 2024 | 6.0 | Hard |
| 2 | JAZZY | Jun 1, 2023 | 6.0 | Hard |
| 3 | MOMMY | Oct 9, 2024 | 6.0 | Hard |
| 4 | HOUND | Apr 18, 2023 | 6.0 | Hard |
| 5 | BOOZY | Oct 27, 2021 | 6.0 | Hard |
| 6 | PSHAW | Jul 15, 2026 | 5.8 | Hard |
| 7 | GOFER | Jul 25, 2025 | 5.8 | Hard |
| 8 | ALOHA | Jul 25, 2026 | 5.7 | Hard |
| 9 | VALVE | Jul 29, 2026 | 5.6 | Hard |
| 10 | EAGER | May 15, 2025 | 5.6 | Hard |
Most Common Starting Letters in Past Wordle Answers
S starts nearly 1 in 7 past Wordle answers, which is a big reason STARE and SLATE are popular opening words. Knowing this does not directly help you guess that specific answer, but if a hint tells you the first letter is S, C, or B, the candidate pool is far wider than with J, Y, or Z.
Repeated Letters and One Vowel Answers
603 of 1,948 past answers (31%) contain at least one letter that appears twice, like FUZZY, ABBEY, or LINEN. These catch players off guard because most opening words test unique letters. A separate 600 answers (30.8%) use only a single vowel, which makes elimination harder when your guesses return no vowel hits. If you are stuck and most tiles are coming back grey, a double letter or one vowel answer is worth considering.
Past Wordle Answers Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions about the Wordle archive.
Does this list include every past Wordle answer?
+Yes, all 1,953 daily answers from puzzle 0 (CIGAR, June 19, 2021) through yesterday are in this archive — this is the complete list of past Wordle words and all previously used Wordle answers. The list updates every day after the new puzzle goes live. Note: a handful of early puzzles had two answers on the same day due to a technical issue with puzzles 241, 284, 324, and 325, so the count is slightly higher than the puzzle number alone suggests.
Will this page show me today Wordle answer?
+No. Today’s answer is not in this archive. It gets added after the next day’s puzzle goes live. If you want hints without full spoilers, the homepage has a 6 tier hint system that lets you reveal as much or as little as you want.
How do I check if a specific word has already been used?
+Two ways: use the search bar at the top of the archive table and type the word directly, or use your browser built in search (Ctrl F on Windows, Cmd F on Mac, or Find on page in mobile browsers) on the alphabetical list section. Both will tell you the puzzle number and date if the word has appeared.
Can a word that already appeared come up again?
+Yes, since February 2026. NYT started recycling old answers and 27 words have now appeared twice. When this happens, Wordle shows a note telling players the answer was previously used. No word has been used more than twice so far. The archive marks all repeats with x2 next to the word.
What was the very first Wordle answer?
+CIGAR, puzzle 0, played on June 19, 2021. Josh Wardle built Wordle as a personal project for his partner and initially shared it only with family. The game went viral in late 2021, and the New York Times bought it in January 2022. CIGAR came back as puzzle 1689 on February 2, 2026, making it one of the earliest puzzles to repeat.
What is the hardest Wordle answer of all time?
+Three words share the top spot with a 6.0 average: JIFFY (Jul 12, 2024), JAZZY (Jun 1, 2023), and MOMMY (Oct 9, 2024). All three have double letters that most standard opening guesses do not test. Players who got to JIFFY late were often tripped up by the double consonants and the unusual J start.
What are the most common letters in past Wordle answers?
+S starts 14.9% of all past answers, nearly 1 in 7 words. C (8.7%), B (7.6%), T (6.6%), and A (6.4%) follow. At the other end, J, Y, and Z start a combined 1.2% of all answers, which is why confirming or eliminating those letters early is very efficient when you get a hint about the first letter.
How often is this list updated?
+Every day after the new puzzle goes live. Yesterday answer gets added to the top of the archive, the monthly table for the current month gets a new row, and the alphabetical list updates. The page header shows the last update date.
Why does Wordle sometimes show two different answers on the same day?
+This happened a few times in 2022 when NYT updated the word list after players had already started their puzzles for that day. Puzzles 241, 284, 324, and 325 each had two valid answers depending on which version of the game someone was running. The archive lists both for those dates.
When did NYT buy Wordle and did anything change?
+NYT acquired Wordle from Josh Wardle in January 2022. The game moved to nytimes.com and a small number of words considered potentially offensive were quietly removed from the answer list. The core gameplay and six guess format stayed exactly the same. Streak data from the original game was not transferred.
What was the Wordle answer yesterday?
+Yesterday’s Wordle word was GEEKY (puzzle 1955, Monday October 26, 2026). If you missed it or want a hint for today’s puzzle, the homepage has yesterday’s answer plus six spoiler-free hints for today.
