★Today's Wordle answer, explained

The answer is DRYLY.

The puzzle, explained

"DRYLY" was a tricky one because it only has a single vowel—that lone Y doing all the heavy lifting—which immediately narrows down the possibilities if you got there early. The repeated L is another wrinkle that catches people off guard, since most Wordle words don't double up on consonants, so you might've guessed two different letters when one of them appeared twice. The good news is that once you landed on that Y as your vowel, the DRY combination is pretty common, so you were in the right ballpark, but figuring out why the word felt "off" might've taken you an extra guess. If you nailed it quickly, you probably started with a smart vowel-heavy word and caught onto the pattern fast—but if it took you to the wire, you weren't alone in this one.
