Today’s Wordle answer is VIPER.
VIPER refers to a venomous snake belonging to a family of snakes recognized for their long, hinged fangs. The term is also sometimes used figuratively to describe someone considered malicious or treacherous.
The word is spelled V-I-P-E-R. It contains two vowels, I and E, and three consonants, V, P and R. All five letters appear only once.
Today’s puzzle may challenge players because V is a relatively uncommon starting letter. However, identifying the two vowels and the final R can help narrow down possible answers.
