Answer

PROWL

To prowl means to move about stealthily, especially in search of prey or something to steal. The word has been used in English since at least the 14th century and is often associated with predatory animals like big cats, though it can also describe people walking around in a restless or sneaky manner. You might hear someone say they are going on the prowl when looking for something specific.

Strategy Tip

Today's word contains a W, which is less common in Wordle answers. If you are stuck mid game, consider trying words with less frequent consonants like W, Y, or V to help narrow down your options.
