The Wordle Answer for October 28, 2026
The answer to Wordle #1,957 is GRIST.
The word GRIST refers to grain that is brought to a mill for grinding. It is a challenging solve because it relies on a four-consonant structure with only a single “I” to bridge the sounds. Players who typically use starting words rich in A, E, or O may find themselves struggling to find green tiles in their early attempts.
