The answer
Spoiler for the puzzle of Wednesday, September 30, 2026. Today's puzzle is not revealed anywhere on this page.
WIGGINS
Andrew Wiggins
F · 2014–2027
Andrew Wiggins's career
Andrew Wiggins played 13 seasons between 2014 and 2027, across 3 franchises — Timberwolves, Warriors and Heat. Over 834 regular-season games he averaged 18.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists, finishing with 15,214 career points. He was 1× All-Star, Rookie of the Year and 1× champion.
He entered the league in the 2014 draft, taken first overall, with everything that expectation carries. That makes him a product of the 2010s, and his career totals should be read against the pace and rules of that period.
Across a long career of 13 seasons he was a consistent starter at 18.2 points per game.

About the answer
The answer was WIGGINS — 7 letters, made up of 5 distinct letters and beginning with W.
The optional hint offered that day read: “Played for MIN 2015–20, GSW 2020–25, MIA 2025–26”.
Why this was a fair answer
Answers are never obscure by design: the pool is every NBA All-Star who debuted in the 1969-70 season or later, plus current players carrying a real scoring role. Andrew Wiggins qualifies on the first route, with 1 All-Star selection — a one-time selection.
With 3 franchises on his record, the shared-team clue was a genuine filter rather than a giveaway. The 1 championship ring were another strong signal — most of the pool has none.
