Answer

SWORD

This word refers to a weapon with a long metal blade and a hilt with a hand guard, used for thrusting or striking. The word comes from Old English 'sweord' and has cognates in many Germanic languages. Throughout history, these weapons have symbolized power, justice, and nobility, appearing in countless legends from Excalibur to the samurai katana.

Strategy Tip

Words with the SW combination at the start are relatively uncommon in Wordle. If you get an S in position one and are stuck, consider pairing it with W as your second letter. Other SW words like SWEAR, SWEAT, and SWEPT are also valid guesses to test this pattern.
