Answer

DINGO

A dingo is a wild dog native to Australia, believed to have arrived on the continent around 4,000 years ago. These tawny colored canines are apex predators in their ecosystem and have become an iconic symbol of the Australian wilderness. The word likely comes from the Dharug language, spoken by Aboriginal Australians in the Sydney region.

Strategy Tip

Words ending in O can be tricky in Wordle because they are less common. If you suspect a word might end in O, try placing it there early to confirm or eliminate this pattern. Common O ending words like RADIO, PIANO, or VIDEO can help test this theory.
