Wordle #1,952 hints and answer for Friday, October 23, 2026

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

Friday's Wordle is a sound as much as a word: bright, warbling and a little old-fashioned. One letter does double duty at the end, which is where streaks go to die.

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 sound a songbird makes on a spring morning: all warbles and quick runs up and down.

Hint 2 of 5

There is only one vowel, I, and the final two letters are identical.

Hint 3 of 5

It is a noun and a verb for a high, quavering musical sound.

Hint 4 of 5

It starts with T.

Hint 5 of 5

It rhymes with DRILL and THRILL, and it ends in a double L.

The answer

This is the full solution to Wordle #1,952. Only tap if you are ready.

T
R
I
L
L
TRILL

TRILL: a quavering, warbling sound, in birdsong or music. The double L is the trap: DRILL and THRILL both sit one letter away.
