Looking for today’s Wordle answer? We’ve got Wordle hints first, then today’s answer for NYT Wordle No. 1,937 on Thursday, Oct. 8, 2026.

Today’s word has mostly common letters, but it might still be a struggle, since it’s not the most common word. And if you’re an ADIEU or AUDIO guesser who wants to get all the vowels before you start in on the consonants, you may be surprised at what you find. Scroll slowly if you want to solve it yourself.

CNET publishes daily answers and hints for The New York Times Mini Crossword, Connections, Connections: Sports Edition and Strands puzzles. And here’s a page that Wordle players should be sure to bookmark. We’ve made a list, with help from the Oxford English Dictionary, showing which letters show up the most in English words. So if your starter word isn’t getting the job done, consider switching to one of the words that uses more of the highly ranked letters. (I like TRAIN and CLOSE.)
