Answer

BORAX

Borax is a naturally occurring mineral compound, also known as sodium borate. It has been used for over a century as a cleaning agent, laundry booster, and ingredient in slime recipes popular with children. The 20 Mule Team Borax brand, named after the mule teams that once transported it from Death Valley mines, remains iconic today.

Strategy Tip

Words containing X are relatively rare in Wordle, but when they do appear, the X is often near the end of the word. If you have ruled out common letter patterns, consider trying words with less frequent consonants like X, Z, or Q.
