ESSAY

An essay is a short piece of writing on a particular subject, typically presenting the author's own argument or perspective. The word comes from the French essai meaning an attempt or trial, reflecting how the form was originally seen as an exploratory exercise in thinking through ideas. Essays can be formal academic pieces or informal personal reflections.

Strategy Tip

Today's word has a repeated letter, which can be tricky. If Wordle shows you a yellow or green S, consider whether there might be a second S hiding elsewhere in the word. Double letters are more common than many players realize!
