Answer

QUALM

Today's word refers to a feeling of doubt, uneasiness, or apprehension, especially about something you are about to do. It often involves your conscience or moral judgment. The word comes from Old English 'cwealm' meaning death or plague, though its meaning has evolved significantly over centuries to describe mental discomfort rather than physical harm.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle features the letter Q, which is one of the rarest letters in Wordle answers. When you have eliminated many common letters without success, consider trying words with unusual letters like Q, X, or Z. Remember that Q in English almost always pairs with U, which can help narrow down possibilities.
