Answer

CLUCK

This word describes the characteristic short, sharp sound that chickens make. It is an example of onomatopoeia, where the word imitates the actual sound it represents. Beyond its literal meaning, the word is sometimes used in phrases like 'clucking like a mother hen' to describe someone who fusses over others protectively.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle features a double letter, which can be tricky to guess. When you see an unusual letter pattern in your guesses, consider trying words with repeated consonants. Many players forget that Wordle answers can have the same letter appearing twice!
