If you need more help, keep reading. We have hints. We have strategy. Maybe just the answer if you are desperate.

How to find it without guessing blindly

The answer has no repeating letters. Check.
Two vowels inside.
It starts with W.
It ends with R.

The meaning? It means to move back and forth in an unsteady way. Indecision, basically.

Waver. There. Done.

Did you get it right away or did you spend five minutes staring at your screen like it owed you money?

Yesterday was DOWDY. A nice retro word. #1789.

Before that:
CLOCK (May 12)
NEWLY (May 11)
PARKA (May 10)
SATIN (May 9)

Starting smarter next time

Stop picking words with Z, Q, and J unless you really hate winning.

Lean into E, A, and R. These are the heavy lifters.

Good starters to try:
– ADIEU
– TRAIN
– CLOSE
– STARE
– NOISE

Or just use the frequency chart we have linked. It works.

We’ll leave it there. See you tomorrow when the puzzle changes and we do it all again. 🤷
