Answer

CACAO

Cacao refers to the tropical tree Theobroma cacao and its seeds, which are processed to make cocoa and chocolate. The word comes from the Nahuatl language spoken by the Aztecs, who prized cacao beans so highly they used them as currency. Cacao beans in their raw form are quite bitter and require fermentation and roasting to develop the familiar chocolate flavor.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle features repeated letters with an unusual vowel heavy pattern. When you see multiple vowels lighting up but the word still feels incomplete, consider that the same letter might appear more than once. Words with double or even triple letters are more common in Wordle than you might expect!
