★Today's Wordle answer, explained

The answer is BLOOD.

The puzzle, explained

# BLOOD That double O in the middle was probably the trickiest part—most people don't think to use the same vowel twice in Wordle, so it might have thrown you off even if you had the right letters. The good news is that once you figured out those two O's were locked in, the consonants B, L, and D are all pretty common, so the word itself wasn't obscure. The main trap was probably guessing words with different vowel patterns first (like BOLD or BAWL) before committing to that OO combo. All things considered, it's a moderately tricky puzzle but not cruel—the letters are straightforward enough that you didn't need to be guessing obscure words.
