★Today's Wordle answer, explained

The answer is GEODE.
What it means — noun: A nodule of stone having a cavity lined with mineral or crystal matter on the inside wall.

The puzzle, explained

GEODE was a pretty punishing Wordle if you weren't expecting that double-E setup, especially with both vowels clustered at the end of the word. The G and D are both solid starting letters that people commonly use, which might've helped you narrow things down, but that repeated E in positions 2 and 4 is a classic trap—most players don't naturally think to guess the same vowel twice. If you went in with a strategy of spreading out your vowels across different spots (like most people do), you could've wasted several guesses before realizing the pattern. That said, once you got the G or D locked in, there aren't *that* many common words fitting the _E_DE pattern, so it wasn't impossible to brute-force your way there.
