You'll find inter in common words like international, intercultural, inter-ethnic, inter-departmental, and so on. Merriam-Webster reports that in its usage as a verb, inter has roots in Middle English "enteren," which is from Anglo-French "enterrer," which is itself from Latin "interrare," meaning "in the Earth".

As a prefix, inter has origins in Old Irish "eter" or "iter," which means "between." We solved the puzzle in three guesses, a little faster than today's average of 3.3. Attempts. We chose the word pouty as our strategic first guess, which the WordleBot complimented as an unusual but solid choice. After that we tried the word "train" to eliminate some more vowels, and that revealed enough info for us to solve the puzzle on the third guess.
