Answer

ANGST

This word comes directly from German, where it originally meant fear or anxiety. It entered English in the 19th century and became particularly associated with existentialist philosophy, describing a deep sense of dread or apprehension about existence itself. Today it is commonly used to describe intense worry or emotional turmoil, especially among teenagers and young adults.

Strategy Tip

Words borrowed from other languages, particularly German, can be tricky in Wordle because they may have unusual letter combinations. When you see consonant clusters like NGS or ST at the end of a word, consider whether the word might have foreign origins.
