Spoiler alert!

If you’re still guessing today’s Wordle, stop here to avoid spoilers! For those looking for hints—or the answer—read on.

Today’s Wordle has a wandering theme. Here are your clues:

Clue #1: It has one vowel.

The vowel is in the second last position.

Clue #2: It’s a verb or a noun.

This word refers to wandering away from a path or something that’s lost or homeless.

Clue #3: Think detours or animals.

You might use this word to describe something that’s off course or a lost pet.

And the answer to today’s Wordle is:

STRAY.

Did the “Y” at the end lead you astray, or did you manage to stay on track for this one?
