Answer

TACKY

Today's word is an adjective that describes something showing poor taste or quality, or something that is cheap and gaudy in appearance. The word can also refer to something slightly sticky, as in glue or paint that has not fully dried. It likely originated from the word 'tack' referring to cheap items or from the sticky sense of partially dried substances.

Strategy Tip

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