Answer

CHIME

This word refers to a musical ringing sound, typically made by a set of bells or metal tubes struck together. It can be used as both a noun describing the sound itself and a verb meaning to make such a sound. The word has been used in English since the 13th century, originally derived from the Old English word for cymbal.

Strategy Tip

Words ending in a silent E are extremely common in English and in Wordle. When you have confirmed consonants but are stuck, try adding common vowel patterns like I and E together, as many five letter words follow this pattern.
