The Wordle answer today is delve.
Meaning to dig underground or reach down into something, delve is a difficult word for a few reasons.
Double letter words are always really hard, especially if one of the letters is already green in your guesses, because you’re usually focusing on eliminating new letters.
But also, an “l” in the middle of the word can lead to you wasting a couple of guesses by putting it at the end of the word to create the common suffix “le”, or just trying it at the start of your guess.
