Answer

YEARN

This word describes a deep longing or intense desire, often with a sense of tenderness or sadness. It comes from Old English geornian, meaning to strive or desire eagerly. The word is often used in romantic or nostalgic contexts, such as when someone yearns for a lost love or a simpler time.

Strategy Tip

Words starting with Y are relatively uncommon in Wordle. If you have eliminated most common starting consonants and have an E in your puzzle, consider trying Y as a starting letter. Today's word also demonstrates that emotional or abstract words appear in Wordle, not just concrete nouns.
