Answer

FORAY

FORAY originally comes from the Old French word forrer, meaning to forage or plunder. Historically, it referred to a sudden military raid or attack. Today, the word is commonly used more broadly to describe any initial attempt or venture into a new area, such as a company making its first foray into a new market.

Strategy Tip

Words ending in Y are fairly common in Wordle. If you have confirmed some vowels but are stuck, try thinking of words with Y as a vowel sound at the end. This puzzle also features the letter combination OR, which appears in many English words.
