The answer was Lexi Held
The mystery player for WNBA Wordle #12 (2026-10-10) was Lexi Held. Here are the clues the grid was hiding — and if you missed it, today's puzzle is waiting.
Lexi Held played for 1 franchise across Phoenix Mercury and came through DePaul in college. That means a yellow team clue appeared whenever you guessed anyone from those rosters — the classic way regulars narrow the grid down.
How the clues played out
Seven columns compared every guess to Lexi Held. Here is what each one was hiding on 2026-10-10:
Green the moment your guess also played for the Phoenix Mercury. Yellow meant the guess had crossed paths with the Phoenix Mercury somewhere in her career.
All or nothing: green only when your guess's team also played in the Western Conference — no yellow in this column.
Green when your guess finished at the same school — DePaul. Yellow meant the two players shared a school somewhere in their careers.
A pure G — green on an exact match, yellow only for a combo guess that also listed G.
