Answer

GENRE

This word comes from the French language, which borrowed it from Latin 'genus' meaning kind or sort. It is commonly used in entertainment, literature, and art to categorize works into types such as horror, romance, drama, or action. The word has one repeated letter, which can trip up solvers who assume all five letters are unique.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle contains a repeated letter. If you are stuck and have tried many different letters, consider that one of the letters you already found might appear twice. This is more common in Wordle than many players expect!
