Answer

YIELD

YIELD is a versatile word that can function as both a verb and a noun. As a verb, it means to give way, surrender, or produce something. As a noun, it refers to the amount produced, such as crop yield or investment yield. The word comes from Old English 'gieldan' meaning to pay or repay.

Strategy Tip

Words starting with Y are relatively uncommon in Wordle, but when you have eliminated common consonants and need a vowel heavy word, trying Y as a starting letter can be surprisingly effective. Remember that Y often acts as a vowel in five letter words.
