Wordle #1,951 hints and answer for Thursday, October 22, 2026

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

Thursday's Wordle is the word for every forgotten password and frozen screen. One vowel turns up twice, so once you find it, the board narrows fast.

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 what you do when a device freezes and you start it over from scratch.

Hint 2 of 5

There are two vowels in the word, and they are the same letter: E, appearing twice.

Hint 3 of 5

It is a verb meaning to set something back to its starting state.

Hint 4 of 5

It starts with R.

Hint 5 of 5

It ends with T, and it is the name of the button nobody wants to press.

This is the full solution to Wordle #1,951. Only tap if you are ready.

RESET

RESET: to set back to zero, or start again. With E in two different spots, a guess that places the E well pays off twice.
