★Today's Wordle answer, explained

The answer is SCUBA.

The puzzle, explained

SCUBA was a tricky one because it's got that unusual vowel setup with U and A separated by consonants, making it hard to pin down if you hadn't considered it as a possibility. The double consonant start (SC) is pretty uncommon in Wordle answers, so a lot of people probably didn't think to try it even if they had the right letters. On the flip side, once you realized it was a five-letter word with two vowels in those spots, it's a pretty concrete word that most people know—no obscure definitions or archaic spelling to worry about. If you got it quick, you likely either guessed it early or worked through the vowel pattern methodically; if it took a while, you probably kept second-guessing whether those consonants would actually start a word.
