Answer

ENNUI

This word comes directly from French and describes a feeling of listlessness and dissatisfaction arising from a lack of excitement or occupation. It was popularized in English literature during the 19th century, often associated with the Romantic movement and characters who felt disconnected from ordinary life. The word has a distinctly sophisticated, literary quality that sets it apart from simpler words like boredom.

Strategy Tip

Today's word contains double letters and an unusual letter combination that might trip up players. When you notice you have most letters but the word still does not work, consider that a letter might appear twice. Also, do not forget that words borrowed from other languages sometimes have unexpected spelling patterns.
