Wordle #1,950 hints and answer for Wednesday, October 21, 2026

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

Wednesday's Wordle is small change: a coin so familiar that its spelling hides in plain sight. One letter doubles up in the middle, and that is where most streaks wobble.

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 the smallest coin in a pocket or a piggy bank, worth a single cent.

Hint 2 of 5

There is only one vowel, E. One consonant appears twice, back to back.

Hint 3 of 5

It is a noun for a coin, and it shows up in sayings about luck, pinching and saving.

Hint 4 of 5

It starts with P.

Hint 5 of 5

It ends with Y, and the double letter sits right in the middle.

The answer

This is the full solution to Wordle #1,950. Only tap if you are ready.

P
E
N
N
Y
PENNY

PENNY: a one-cent coin. The back-to-back double N is the trap: plenty of players find the P, E and Y and still burn a guess on the middle.
