Today’s Wordle is extra hard with two letters the same and too many possibilities

As if having two completely different answers wasn’t enough today’s Wordle is almost as bad, with a simple word that’s very hard to guess.

Today’s problem isn’t because of any mistake on the part of The New York Times but it is worth warning that the answer is extremely difficult, as it combines two of the biggest problems with Worlde: an answer with more than one letter the same and one that’s hard to guess even when you know four of the letters.
