Answer

TOXIN

A toxin is a poisonous substance produced by living cells or organisms, such as bacteria, plants, or animals. The word comes from the Greek 'toxikon,' which originally referred to poison used on arrows. Today we use this term in medicine, biology, and environmental science to describe harmful biological compounds.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle contains the letter X, which appears in less than 3% of Wordle answers. If you suspect an uncommon letter like X, J, or Z, try words that feature these letters early rather than saving them for later guesses.
