Answer

COWER

To cower means to crouch down or shrink away in fear, often making oneself appear smaller as a defensive reaction. The word has roots in Middle Low German or Scandinavian languages, where similar words meant to lie in wait or lurk. It is commonly used to describe both humans and animals displaying submissive or fearful body language.

Strategy Tip

Today's word contains a W, which is less common in Wordle answers. If you have ruled out more frequent consonants, consider trying words with W, especially in the middle position where it often appears.
