Today’s Wordle answer is SCOOT.
SCOOT is a verb meaning to move quickly, hurry away or leave a place without delay. It can also mean to slide or shift a short distance, as when someone scoots over to make room for another person.
The word is spelled S-C-O-O-T. It contains one distinct vowel, O, which appears twice in consecutive positions. Its three consonants are S, C and T.
Today’s puzzle may challenge players because the repeated O reduces the number of unique letters in the answer. Players who focus on words with two different vowels could overlook the solution.
The opening combination SC may also make the answer less obvious. Once the repeated O and final T are identified, however, the possible five-letter words become easier to narrow down.
Yesterday’s Wordle answer for November 1
Yesterday’s Wordle, puzzle #1961, was VIPER. The word refers to a venomous snake known for its long, hinged fangs. It can also describe a person regarded as malicious or treacherous.
Unlike today’s answer, VIPER has no repeated letters. It contains two different vowels, I and E, begins with V and ends with R. Its uncommon starting letter may have made Sunday’s puzzle difficult for some players.
