Thyme is a culinary and medicinal herb from the mint family, originating from the Mediterranean region. The ancient Egyptians used it for embalming, while Greeks burned it as incense in temples. Its name comes from the Greek word 'thymos' meaning courage or to fumigate.

Strategy Tip

Today's word contains the unusual letter Y acting as a vowel. Remember that Y can function as either a consonant or vowel in Wordle, so words with only one traditional vowel might have Y filling that role. Consider trying words with Y when you are running low on vowel options.
