Answer

FISHY

This versatile adjective has two main meanings. In its literal sense, it describes something resembling or relating to fish, often used for smells or flavors. Figuratively, it has come to mean suspicious, dubious, or questionable, as in something that seems not quite right.

Strategy Tip

Words ending in Y are quite common in Wordle, especially adjectives. If you are stuck, try thinking of words that turn nouns into descriptive words by adding Y at the end.
