Answer

ENDOW

This word means to provide with a quality, ability, or asset, or to establish a fund to support something permanently. It comes from the Middle English 'endowen,' which has roots in Anglo French. Universities often have 'endowments' which are permanent funds established by generous donors.

Strategy Tip

Today's word ends with an uncommon letter pairing. If you are stuck, try words with less typical endings. The letter W at the end of words is relatively rare in Wordle, so if you have confirmed an ending vowel sound, consider W as a possibility.
