Answer

BEING

This word has roots in Old English and serves dual purposes in the language. As a noun, it refers to a creature or entity that exists, such as a human being or living being. As a verb form, it is the present participle of the verb to be, describing the state of existing or occurring.

Strategy Tip

Words ending in ING are common in Wordle and can be tricky because they lock in three letters quickly. If you suspect an ING ending early on, try focusing your guesses on finding the first two letters since those will determine the answer.
