Answer

TWEAK

TWEAK means to make a small, fine adjustment to something. The word likely originated as an imitative word suggesting a quick, light motion or pinch. In modern usage, it is commonly used in technology and creative fields to describe minor modifications that improve performance or results.

Strategy Tip

Words with W can be tricky because this letter does not appear in many common Wordle starters. If you have ruled out more frequent consonants, consider testing W, especially in second or third position where it often appears.
