Even after years of daily Wordle challenges, the puzzle creators at NYT are far from running out of ideas. That said, the words are definitely becoming more unusual—and today’s word is certainly one you’re unlikely to use in everyday conversation.

Wordle, the hugely popular word puzzle created by developer Josh Wardle, skyrocketed in popularity during the Covid pandemic. The game gives players six chances to guess a five-letter word that changes each day.
After each guess, the game provides color-coded feedback:
- Green indicates the letter is correct and in the right position.
- Yellow means the letter is in the word, but in the wrong spot.
- Gray shows that the letter isn’t in the word at all.
