Answer

PARKA

This word originated from the Nenets language of northern Russia, referring to a hooded jacket made from animal skins worn by indigenous Arctic peoples. It was adopted into English through Russian during increased contact with northern communities. Today it commonly refers to any warm, hooded winter coat, particularly those with insulated linings and fur trimmed hoods.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle contains a repeated letter, which can be tricky in Wordle since each guess only tests a letter once. If you suspect a repeated letter, try words that use that letter in different positions to confirm your theory.
