The answer to today's Wordle puzzle is label. As we mentioned earlier, it's a common word — so common, in fact, that it's in the top 1% of English words people look up in the dictionary. The word often refers to "a slip (as of paper or cloth) inscribed and affixed to something for identification or description," according to Merriam-Webster. Per the same source, the solution can also mean a descriptive or identifying word or phrase, as well as an adhesive stamp. The word has roots in Middle English "labelle," which itself is of Anglo-French origin, although its original meaning is unknown.
