DAILY seemed like a good guess once I came up with all grey boxes (and 454 remaining possible solutions, Id later learn).

Enjoy!Todays Wordle EtymologyThe word "dingy" (meaning dull, dirty, or lacking brightness) likely originates from the late 18th century. It derives from the Old English dialect word "dingy," meaning dirty or unclean, and is thought to be related to the word "dung," which refers to manure or filth. Its connotation of gloominess or lack of cleanliness has remained consistent over time.Dingy is not to be confused with the word dinghy which refers to a small boat and cannot be a Wordle answer since its six letters long. I still hope that when they run out of 5-letter words, the New York Times opts to make Wordle 2.0 a six-letter game. But I digress.Let me know how you fared with your Wordle today on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook.
