Answer

QUACK

This word serves double duty in English. It famously represents the vocalization of ducks, making it one of the most recognizable onomatopoeia words. Additionally, it describes a fraudulent practitioner of medicine, often shortened from the historical term for charlatan healers who sold dubious remedies.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle features the letter Q, which is one of the rarest letters in Wordle answers. If you suspect an unusual letter might be in play, do not be afraid to make a guess that tests uncommon consonants. Remember that Q in English is almost always followed by U.
