Answer

DOZEN

Today's word comes from the Old French 'dozeine' and Latin 'duodecim' meaning twelve. The number twelve has been significant throughout history, which is why we have special words for it. A baker's dozen, interestingly, means thirteen, as bakers historically added an extra item to avoid penalties for short changing customers.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle contains a Z, which is one of the rarer letters in Wordle. If you are stuck, consider trying words with uncommon letters. Many players focus only on common consonants, but occasionally testing letters like Z, X, or Q can quickly confirm or eliminate possibilities.
