Answer

DINGY

This adjective describes something that appears dark, dull, and dirty, often from neglect or poor maintenance. It comes from Old English and originally related to dung or excrement, which gives insight into its meaning of something unclean or discolored. The word is commonly used to describe run down spaces, faded clothing, or gloomy environments.

Strategy Tip

Words ending in Y are fairly common in Wordle. If you are stuck, try words with the Y at the end since many adjectives follow this pattern. Also, do not overlook less common letter combinations like NG which appear in today's puzzle.
