Today's Wordle answer is quite a versatile word. It can function as a noun and a verb, and is frequently used in academic, biological, and social contexts. It's a pretty common word, but WordleBot says it took most players 4.3 attempts to figure it out, so it's definitely not an easy one to guess.
But we want you to keep that streak going, so here are some pointers and nudges to help you solve the puzzle in record time. We'll also reveal the solution in the second section, so you can skip to that if you don't mind the spoiler. Also, here's yesterday's answer if you missed it.
The word you're looking for has one vowel, A, as the third letter. It ends with the letter S, but it is not a plural. In fact, that S is repeated as the fourth letter of the word, which defines a group or set sharing similar attributes. The word could also describe something or someone of high quality, and it could also mean social ranking, especially high social ranking. Get it? If you're still unsure, check out the solution below the next heading.
The word is the best of its kind
The answer to today's Wordle puzzle (#446 – September 8, 2022) is class. Apart from the definitions we've mentioned above, it also describes a course of instruction in a school, or the body of students meeting regularly to study said course. You'd say something is in "a class of its own" if it's the best of its kind.
In biology, the word class defines a category in taxonomy ranking above the order and below the phylum or division. In mathematics, it's "a collection of adjacent and discrete or continuous values of a random variable" (via Merriam-Webster). The word class has roots in French "classe," which is from Latin "classis," meaning a division army, or fleet (via Etymonline).
