Answer

WHACK

This word describes a sharp, resounding blow or the sound it makes. It can function as both a noun and a verb, and is often used in informal contexts or to describe hitting something decisively. The word is frequently seen in comic strips and cartoons as onomatopoeia to represent impact sounds.

Strategy Tip

Words with the WH combination at the start are less common in Wordle, but worth remembering. If you have confirmed a W in the first position, consider whether adding an H might unlock the puzzle.
