Spotle Answer for October 24, 2026 — Hints & Answer

October 24, 2026 Spotle answer: George Michael

Spotle puzzle #1639 went live Saturday, October 24, 2026. The three hints moved from broad to personal — Blue-Eyed Soul, then Has a song with Elton John, and finally Last on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1996 — the kind of progression that ends most debates. If you named George Michael off the first clue alone, that's a two-guess round; if you burned all three, you're in good company.

Why this artist fits

George Michael checks every box the game gave: Blue-Eyed Soul / Has a song with Elton John / Last on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1996. Spotle compares attributes across debut era, genre, awards and chart history, so the clues above are drawn straight from the artist's actual record — no trick wording, no red herrings.
