Answer

URBAN

This adjective describes anything relating to or characteristic of a city or town, as opposed to the countryside. It comes from the Latin word 'urbanus' meaning of or belonging to a city, which itself derives from 'urbs' meaning city. The word is commonly used in phrases like urban sprawl, urban development, and urban legend.

Strategy Tip

Words starting with U are less common in Wordle, so many players avoid U in their opening guesses. If you have eliminated most common consonants and vowels, consider trying words with U as it appears in about 5 percent of English words but can be tricky to find.
