Answer

EASEL

An easel is a wooden or metal stand used to support a canvas or painting surface while an artist works. The word comes from the Dutch word 'ezel' meaning donkey, likely because the easel carries the burden of holding the artwork, much like a donkey carries loads. Easels come in various styles including studio easels, field easels, and tabletop easels.

Strategy Tip

Today's word has a repeated vowel, which is fairly common in Wordle. When you see multiple vowels confirmed but are struggling, consider whether one might appear twice. Words with double Es are more common than you might think.
