Answer

DUSKY

This adjective describes something that is somewhat dark or shadowy, often used to describe fading light or gloomy atmospheres. It derives from the word dusk, referring to the twilight period just after the sun sets. Writers frequently use this word to create moody, atmospheric descriptions in literature and poetry.

Strategy Tip

Words ending in Y are fairly common in Wordle, but this one uses the less common letter combination of SK before the Y. If you have confirmed a Y ending, try thinking about different consonant clusters that could precede it.
