Answer

DELTA

This word comes from the Greek letter of the same name, which looks like a triangle. The geographical term was coined because river formations often take on this distinctive triangular shape where sediment deposits spread out before reaching a larger body of water. The word is also commonly used in mathematics, science, and the NATO phonetic alphabet.

Strategy Tip

Words ending in A are less common in Wordle but definitely appear. If you have identified most consonants but the word still does not click, try thinking about words borrowed from other languages, particularly Greek or Latin origins.
