Answer

SWILL

Swill can function as both a noun and a verb. As a noun, it refers to liquid garbage or kitchen waste, particularly the kind fed to pigs. As a verb, it means to drink something greedily or to wash or rinse something out with large amounts of water. The word has Old English origins related to washing or rinsing.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle features a double letter, which can be tricky! If you are stuck, remember that common consonants like L, S, and T frequently appear twice in Wordle answers. Do not be afraid to guess words with repeated letters once you have ruled out other options.
