Answer

CUBIT

A cubit is an ancient unit of linear measurement based on the length from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger, typically about 18 inches or 45 centimeters. The word comes from the Latin 'cubitum' meaning elbow. This measurement appears frequently in biblical texts, most famously in the dimensions given for Noah's Ark and Solomon's Temple.

Strategy Tip

When facing uncommon or archaic words, remember that Wordle sometimes pulls from specialized vocabulary. If you have confirmed most letters but the word seems unfamiliar, think about words from history, science, or literature that you may have encountered in school.
