Wordle #1,945 hints and answer for Friday, October 16, 2026

Hints, in order

Think shade: the cool dark patch under a tree - or a person whose story does not add up.
There is one standard vowel, A, in the middle. The Y at the end does the second vowel's job. No letter repeats.
It is an adjective, and it can praise a picnic spot or warn you off a business deal.
It starts with S, and the second letter is H.
It ends with Y: S, H, A, D, Y.
The answer
This is the full solution to Wordle #1,945. Only tap if you are ready.
