Answer

ONSET

Today's word refers to the beginning or start of something, particularly something unpleasant or notable. It comes from the Middle English word meaning 'an attack' or 'assault,' derived from the idea of setting upon something. The word is commonly used in medical contexts to describe when symptoms first appear, as in 'the onset of flu symptoms.'

Strategy Tip

Words with common letter combinations like ST, NT, or SE appear frequently in Wordle. If you have found some of these letters but are struggling with placement, try words that rearrange them in different positions.
