Answer

MOMMY

This word is an informal, affectionate term for mother, commonly used by young children. It developed from baby talk, as the M sound is one of the easiest consonants for infants to produce. The word became popularized in American English and is now used worldwide as a term of endearment for mothers.

Strategy Tip

Today's word features a letter that appears three times, which is quite rare in Wordle. When you notice repeated letters in your guesses getting multiple hits, consider that a single letter might appear more than twice. Words with triple letters are uncommon but do exist!
