Answer

TEMPO

This word comes from Italian, derived from the Latin word 'tempus' meaning time. In music, it refers to the speed at which a piece is played, and it can also be used more broadly to describe the pace of any activity or process. Common musical tempo markings include allegro, andante, and presto.

Strategy Tip

Today's word ends with an O, which is less common in Wordle answers. If you are stuck, try words ending in O to test that possibility. Many players overlook this ending pattern.
