Answer

YEAST

Yeast is a microscopic single celled fungus that has been used by humans for thousands of years in baking and brewing. When yeast consumes sugars, it produces carbon dioxide gas and alcohol through fermentation, which is what makes bread rise and gives beer its alcohol content. The word comes from the Old English 'gist' meaning foam or froth, referring to the bubbly appearance during fermentation.

Strategy Tip

Words starting with Y are relatively uncommon in Wordle, so if you have eliminated most common starting letters, consider trying less frequent consonants like Y. Today's puzzle also contains two vowels spread throughout the word, which is a common pattern worth remembering.
