Answer

CORNY

This adjective originally meant something resembling or containing corn, but evolved in American slang to describe humor, stories, or expressions that are overly sentimental, simplistic, or tiresomely familiar. The connection may come from rural or old fashioned entertainment associated with farming communities.

Strategy Tip

Words ending in Y are quite common in Wordle. When you are stuck, consider whether your answer might end in common suffixes like Y, LY, or RY. This pattern appears frequently and is worth keeping in mind.
