Wordle #1,940 hints and answer for Sunday, October 11, 2026

Edited by Tracy Bennett · 5 letters · Spoiler-free until you choose otherwise

Sunday's Wordle starts with a vowel and a small act of opening: taking the top off a pen, a bottle or a tube. Two vowels, no repeats, and an opening U that most starter words never test.

Hints, in order

Hint 0 of 5

Tap to show one hint at a time. Stop as soon as you have enough.

Hint 1 of 5

Think of a pen, a bottle or a marker, and the small act of taking its top off before you use it.

Hint 2 of 5

There are two vowels, U and A. No letter repeats.

Hint 3 of 5

It is a verb, built from a short prefix meaning undo plus the word for a lid or cover.

Hint 4 of 5

It starts with U, and the second letter is N.

Hint 5 of 5

It ends with P: U, N, C, A, P.

The answer

This is the full solution to Wordle #1,940. Only tap if you are ready.

U
N
C
A
P
UNCAP

UNCAP: to remove a cap or cover from something. The opening U is the trap, and the back half is a plain word of its own: CAP, hiding at the end.
