Answer

PENNE

Penne is a type of pasta shaped like short tubes with angled ends, resembling quill pens. The name comes from the Italian word 'penna' meaning pen or feather, referring to the pen point shape of the pasta. Its ridged or smooth surface and hollow center make it ideal for holding thick sauces.

Strategy Tip

Today's word has a double letter in the middle, which can be tricky to spot. When you have confirmed letters but the word still seems elusive, consider whether any letters might be repeated. Double letters are more common than you might think in Wordle answers.
