Wordle Answer for September 26, 2026
The answer is ELEGY.
An elegy is a mournful, melancholic poem or song written to lament the dead or to express grief. The word traces back to the Greek word for “lament” and has a long tradition in Western literature – from the elegies of classical antiquity to Thomas Gray’s “Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard,” one of the most famous poems in the English language.
In today’s puzzle (#1925), ELEGY offered a moderately challenging solve. Players who guessed common five-letter words early may have found the E and L quickly, but the G-Y ending tends to narrow the field significantly on later attempts. If you got it in three or four, that’s a solid result.
