Wordle #1,962 hints and answer for Monday, November 2, 2026
Today's Wordle is a quick little verb: the word for sliding over on a bench to make room, or for hurrying along out of the way. Its one trick is in the middle - a doubled vowel that starting words rarely test twice. Work down the hint ladder as far as you need, then check the answer box at the bottom.

Picture a crowded bench: to make room for one more person, everyone slides over a little while still seated. That sliding move is the word - it can also mean to move along quickly, or hurry off.
There are two vowels, and they are the same letter twice: O sits in third and fourth place, side by side. The other three letters are consonants.
It is a verb. A parent might tell a dawdling kid to do it, and a dog told to do it is being told to get out of the way.
It starts with S.
It ends with T, the second letter is C, and the first two letters are SC.
The answer
This is the full solution to Wordle #1,962. Only tap if you are ready.
SCOOT: to slide while seated, or to move swiftly - "scoot over" on a bench, or scoot out the door. The trap is the doubled O: a guess that finds one O rarely plays the second, so the middle of this word can stay open longer than it should.
