Answer

QUIRK

This word refers to a peculiar behavioral trait or mannerism that makes someone or something distinctive. It often carries a slightly playful or affectionate connotation, suggesting an oddity that is charming rather than problematic. The word can also be used to describe unexpected features or behaviors in objects or systems.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle contains a Q, which is one of the rarest letters in Wordle. If your early guesses eliminate most common letters without success, consider trying words with unusual letters like Q, X, or Z. The Q in English is almost always followed by U, which can help you confirm or eliminate this possibility quickly.
