Answer

LEAPT

LEAPT is the past tense of the verb leap, meaning to jump or spring a long way. Both leapt and leaped are acceptable past tense forms, with leapt being more common in British English and leaped more common in American English. The word comes from Old English hleapan and has Germanic origins.

Strategy Tip

Past tense verbs ending in T are common in Wordle. If you suspect a verb, try thinking through irregular past tenses that end in T rather than ED, such as kept, slept, or crept.
