Wordle #1,960 hints and answer for Saturday, October 31, 2026

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

Today's Wordle is a Halloween shout: a cheer of pure delight that doubles, as a noun, as a rude and noisy person. The vowels outnumber the consonants three to two, and one letter does double duty at the very end. Work down the hint ladder as far as you need, then check the answer box at the bottom.

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 shout of joy: the sound you make on a roller coaster drop, or when your team scores at the last second. As a noun, the same word names a rude, rowdy person.

Hint 2 of 5

There are three vowel slots but only two different vowels: A sits in second place, and O fills both of the last two spots.

Hint 3 of 5

It can be an interjection - a cry of exuberant delight or triumph - or a noun for a crude, loud, uncouth individual.

Hint 4 of 5

It starts with Y.

Hint 5 of 5

It ends with OO, the middle letter is H, and the second letter is A.

The answer

This is the full solution to Wordle #1,960. Only tap if you are ready.

Y
A
H
O
O
YAHOO

YAHOO: a shout of exuberant joy - and, as a noun, a crude or rowdy person, a sense that goes back to the Yahoos of Gulliver's Travels. The trap is the repeated O: an opener that tests each vowel once finds the A and the O early, but the second O stays hidden unless you test the double.
