Wordle Answer for 24 July 2026 2026

Today’s Wordle answer is:

PUTTY

Putty is a soft, pliable material traditionally made from whiting and linseed oil, long used by glaziers to seal glass into window frames and by handypeople to fill small gaps and cracks. The word has also lent itself to the children’s toy “Silly Putty,” a stretchy, mouldable compound invented by accident in the 1940s during wartime rubber research. With one repeated letter and only a single vowel, PUTTY was a word that rewarded players who eliminated common vowels early.
