Answer

TRYST

A tryst is a private romantic rendezvous between lovers, typically arranged in secret. The word comes from Old French 'triste,' meaning an appointed station in hunting, and evolved to describe any predetermined meeting place. In modern usage, it often carries connotations of forbidden romance or affairs.

Strategy Tip

Today's word contains no traditional vowels, relying on Y to do the heavy lifting. Words without A, E, I, O, or U are rare but do exist in Wordle. If you have eliminated most vowels and still have no yellow or green letters, consider words where Y serves as the vowel sound.
