Answer

SAUCY

Today's word is an adjective that describes someone who is bold, lively, or impudent in an entertaining way. It derives from the word 'sauce,' originally meaning someone was full of sauce or spirit. The term evolved from describing literal condiments to capturing that zesty, spirited personality trait we see in people who speak their mind with flair.

Strategy Tip

Words ending in Y are quite common in Wordle, especially adjectives. If you suspect the answer might be descriptive, trying words that end in Y early can help confirm or eliminate this pattern quickly.
