GUESS

Today's word is both a noun and a verb that describes the act of forming an estimate or conjecture without complete knowledge. The word comes from Middle English 'gessen,' which may have Scandinavian origins. It is wonderfully meta for a Wordle puzzle since every attempt you make is essentially doing this very action!

Strategy Tip

Today's word has a double letter, which can be tricky. If you are stuck and have found some correct letters, consider whether any of them might appear twice. Double S is particularly common in English words.
