Answer

SHOVE

This word means to push someone or something roughly or carelessly. It comes from Middle English and has been used in English since the 14th century. The word can be used both literally, as in physically pushing, or figuratively, as in forcing something into a space or situation.

Strategy Tip

Today's word contains the common SH blend at the beginning. Words starting with SH are fairly common in Wordle, so having a backup word that tests this combination can be valuable when you have confirmed an S but need to figure out what follows it.
