Answer

MUCKY

MUCKY is an informal adjective meaning covered with or containing muck, which is dirt, mud, or filth. The word derives from the Old Norse word 'myki' meaning cow dung. It is commonly used in British English to describe something dirty or unpleasant, and parents often use it when scolding children who have gotten themselves messy playing outside.

Strategy Tip

Words ending in Y are quite common in Wordle, but the CK letter combination can be tricky to discover. If you suspect a word might end in CKY, try words like LUCKY or DUCKY early to test that pattern.
