Answer

INDEX

The word INDEX comes from the Latin word meaning 'forefinger' or 'pointer,' since people would use their finger to point at entries in a list. Today it refers to alphabetical lists in books, financial measurements like the stock market index, or even the pointing finger itself (your index finger). As a verb, it means to create such a list or to adjust values based on a standard measure.

Strategy Tip

Words containing X are relatively rare in Wordle, but when they appear, the X is often paired with common letters. If you suspect an X might be in play, trying words like EXTRA or NEXUS can help confirm or eliminate this tricky letter.
