Answer

SEEDY

This adjective has two distinct meanings. It can literally describe something full of seeds, like a seedy strawberry or tomato. More commonly today, it describes something or someone that appears shabby, disreputable, or morally questionable. The slang usage evolved from the idea that plants going to seed look neglected and past their prime.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle contains a repeated letter, which occurs more often in Wordle than many players expect. When you have confirmed some letters but the word still seems incomplete, consider whether one of your known letters might appear twice.
