Answer

QUELL

This word means to suppress or extinguish something, typically a feeling, rebellion, or disturbance. It comes from the Middle English word quellen, which originally meant to kill or destroy, though modern usage is less violent and more about calming or subduing. You might quell your fears before a big presentation or authorities might quell an uprising.

Strategy Tip

Words starting with Q are rare in Wordle, appearing in fewer than 1% of answers. If you have eliminated most common letter patterns and nothing fits, consider trying unusual starting letters like Q, X, or Z. Also remember that Q in English is almost always followed by U.
