Answer

WEARY

This adjective describes a state of being tired or exhausted, often after prolonged effort or stress. It comes from Old English 'werig' meaning tired or exhausted. The word carries a slightly more poetic or emotional weight than simply saying tired, often implying a deeper fatigue of body or spirit.

Strategy Tip

Words ending in Y are fairly common in Wordle, especially adjectives. If you have confirmed a Y in your puzzle, consider where it might go. Ending positions are very common for Y, and using words with common vowel combinations like EA can help you nail down the middle letters.
