Answer

LIVID

LIVID is an adjective that primarily means furiously angry in modern usage. However, its original meaning refers to a discolored, grayish or bluish appearance, like that of a bruise. The word comes from the Latin word lividus, meaning bluish or leaden colored, which is why we still sometimes describe bruises as having a livid color.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle features a repeated vowel, which can be tricky. When you see a repeated letter in Wordle, remember that the game will show yellow or green for each instance separately. If you suspect a double letter, try a word that tests for it early.
