The answer to Wordle #1919 is: SHONE
SHONE is the simple past tense of “shine” – as in “the sun shone all morning.” It contains the vowels O and E. The SH opening and the silent-E ending make it a tricky guess for solvers who start with common vowel-heavy openers, since neither A, I, nor U appears anywhere in the word.
Yesterday’s Wordle (#1918) was TROVE. Today’s answer fits the recurring pattern of past-tense verbs appearing midweek, which the puzzle’s editorial team has leaned into this month.
If you enjoy the daily NYT puzzle set, NYT Connections and NYT Strands also reset at midnight – as does the NYT Mini Crossword, which pairs well with Wordle as a quick morning warm-up. Play today’s puzzle at the NYT Wordle page.
