Answer

SISSY

This word is often used informally to describe someone considered weak, cowardly, or effeminate. Originally derived as a diminutive of sister, the term has evolved into slang with both affectionate family uses and more pejorative connotations depending on context. In recent years, some communities have reclaimed the word as a term of endearment.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle features a repeated letter appearing multiple times. When you see unusual patterns in your feedback, like the same letter going green or yellow in multiple spots, consider whether a letter might repeat. Words with triple letters are rare but do exist in Wordle.
