Today’s Wordle Answer (October 19)
Still stumped? One more push, please. There is only one vowel letter in today’s word and no vowels are repeated. This is because the words that contain double letters can be disregarded.

Spoiler Alert: The solution is on the next page.
The day’s Wordle #1938 solution 19 October is STINK.
It fits every clue. It is a verb and a noun, it means to smell very bad, it starts with S, and its only vowel is I. Words like SMELL may have come to mind, but the double L rules it out.

Tips to Solve Wordle Faster
Use a solid first word. Choose one that has some common letters, but also has some vowels. Math professor Jonathan Olson has researched which openers are best: SALET, RANCE, ALTER and CRATE.
Test out new letters with second guesses. If the first word returns little or no matches, don’t use the same letters again.
Learn the colours. When the answer is in the right place and the right letter, it is green. Yellow – right letter, wrong position. Grey means the letter is not in the word.
Pay attention to double letters. Some words, such as GAFFE, can decoy you so if you do get stuck late in the game, think about the possibility of repeating a letter.
Finally, use hints. A few hints for the word type, word meaning and first letter quickly whittle down the possibilities.
