Wordle #1,961 hints and answer for Sunday, November 1, 2026
Today's Wordle is a creature to steer clear of: a venomous snake that doubles, as a word, as a name for a treacherous person. Two vowels, no repeated letters, and an opening letter most starting words never test. Work down the hint ladder as far as you need, then check the answer box at the bottom.
Hints, in order

Think of a venomous snake with long, hinged fangs. Used about a person, the same word means someone treacherous and spiteful.
There are two vowels: I sits in second place and E in fourth. The other three letters are consonants, and no letter repeats.
It is a noun, and it names a whole family of snakes - the kind with a broad, triangular head that you would not want to meet on a path.
It starts with V.
It ends with R, the middle letter is P, and the first two letters are VI.
The answer
This is the full solution to Wordle #1,961. Only tap if you are ready.
VIPER: a venomous snake of the family Viperidae - and, figuratively, a treacherous or scheming person. The trap is the opening V: most starters lean on S, T and R, so the first letter can stay hidden for several guesses even after both vowels land.
