Answer

FAINT

This word can function as both an adjective meaning weak or barely perceptible, and as a verb meaning to briefly lose consciousness. It comes from the Old French word feint, meaning sluggish or cowardly. The expression faint of heart uses this word to describe someone who lacks courage or determination.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle contains two vowels that are among the most common in English: A and I. Starting words that test multiple common vowels early can help you quickly narrow down the vowel positions, which is often the key to solving Wordle efficiently.
