Answer

DODGY

DODGY is a British English informal adjective that describes something dishonest, unreliable, or potentially dangerous. It can also mean something that is in poor condition or not working properly. The word likely derives from the verb 'dodge,' suggesting something that evades or is evasive in nature.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle contains a repeated letter, which can be tricky since Wordle shows each tile separately. If your guesses keep hitting some letters but not completing the word, consider whether one letter might appear twice. This is especially common with consonants like D, S, T, and L.
