Answer

SPICY

This adjective describes food that has a hot, pungent flavor, often from chili peppers or strong spices. The word comes from the noun spice, which has roots in the Latin word species, meaning a kind or sort, and eventually came to refer to aromatic plant substances used in cooking. Beyond food, it can also describe something exciting, scandalous, or full of zest.

Strategy Tip

Today's word has four consonants and just one vowel. When you are stuck, remember that Y can function as a vowel in many five letter words, especially at the end. Words ending in Y are quite common in Wordle, so keep that pattern in mind.
