AMISS

This word means wrong, faulty, or out of proper order. It comes from Middle English and is often used in the phrase 'something is amiss' to indicate that something is not as it should be.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle features a double letter, which can be tricky. When you have confirmed letters but your guesses keep missing, consider whether one of those letters might appear twice. Many players forget that Wordle answers can repeat letters!
