Answer

EXPEL

EXPEL comes from the Latin word 'expellere,' meaning to drive out or thrust away. The word combines 'ex' meaning out and 'pellere' meaning to drive. It is commonly used in academic contexts when students are permanently removed from school, or in broader contexts when referring to forcing someone or something out of a place or organization.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle contains the letter X, which appears in relatively few English words. When you discover an X in your Wordle, it dramatically narrows your options. Consider occasionally trying words with uncommon letters early to either eliminate them or get lucky with a valuable discovery.
