Answer

NOVEL

This word has two common uses: as a noun referring to a book length work of fiction, and as an adjective meaning new, fresh, or original. It comes from the Italian word 'novella' meaning a short story, which itself derives from the Latin 'novus' meaning new. Famous examples of this form include works by authors like Jane Austen and Charles Dickens.

Strategy Tip

Words with common letters like N, O, V, E, and L appear frequently in Wordle. Starting with words that contain multiple vowels and common consonants can help you quickly narrow down possibilities.
