Wordle #1,968 hints and answer for Sunday, November 8, 2026
Today's Wordle is the word for coming before everything else: the head of the line, the top of the list, the one that goes ahead of all the rest. It is a friendly board in one way, with no repeated letters anywhere, and a stingy one in another, because a single vowel does all the work while four consonants close around it. Work down the hint ladder one rung at a time, then check the answer box at the bottom when you are ready for the reveal.
Hints, in order
Hint 0 of 5Tap to show one hint at a time. Stop as soon as you have enough.
Think order: this word names the one that comes before all others, in time, in line or in importance.
There is one vowel: I in second place. The other four slots are consonants.
No letter repeats: all five letters are different. It can be an adjective, an adverb or a noun.
It starts with F.
It ends with T, and the first three letters are FIR - add ST and you are there.
The answer
This is the full solution to Wordle #1,968. Only tap if you are ready.
FIRST: coming before all others in time, order or importance - the head of the queue. The traps sit close by: FIRTH and FIERY both waste a guess on letters that never land, and anyone who finds the F and the closing T early still has to resist filling the middle with vowels that are not there.
