Answer

ICING

The word refers to a sweet, often creamy coating used to decorate cakes, cookies, and other baked goods. In a completely different context, it also describes the dangerous formation of ice on aircraft surfaces during flight, which can affect lift and control. The term comes from the word 'ice' with the suffix 'ing' added to create a noun or verb form.

Strategy Tip

Today's word has a repeated letter, which can be tricky in Wordle. When you get close but something seems off, consider whether a letter might appear twice. Many players forget to test for doubles!
