Answer

UPSET

This versatile word can function as both a verb and an adjective. As a verb, it means to knock over, disturb, or defeat unexpectedly. As an adjective, it describes someone who is emotionally distressed or troubled. The word comes from Middle English and has been used since the 14th century.

Strategy Tip

Words starting with U are less common in Wordle, so many players avoid guessing them early. If you have eliminated the most common starting letters like S, C, and T, consider trying a U word. Today's puzzle is a good reminder that vowels can appear at the beginning too.
