Answer

CLOCK

This word refers to a timekeeping device that displays hours, minutes, and sometimes seconds. The term comes from the Medieval Latin word 'clocca' meaning bell, since early timekeepers announced the hour by ringing bells. Clocks have evolved from sundials and water clocks to the digital and atomic precision we use today.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle contains a repeated letter, which can be tricky. If you are stuck, consider that Wordle answers sometimes have double letters, and words with double consonants like LL, SS, or CC are worth trying when your guesses are not turning green.
