Wordle 397 answer for July 21: Today's puzzle is going to claim quite a few streaks, unfortunately because the biological words are back. We all remember the mayhem the game caused when last time it introduced multiple biology related words like Pinto, Lilac, Egret and others. Back then multiple accounts lost their streaks and had to begin all over again. With just one puzzle a day, it is already quite difficult to create a high enough streak, and if you somehow still have a three-digit streak going, you need to keep it that way. And this is why you need these Wordle hints and clues today. Getting the word without any prior information is incredibly tough, so use this space to know some crucial hints and clue about the word. And if you are someone who is on their last attempt and needs to get the word right, just scroll to the bottom for the solution.

Today's word does not have any double letters. But that would have been the least of your problems today. Three out of five letters today are uncommon and the word itself is quite obscure. So, not only do you have to ensure finding the clues as quickly as possible, you also have to keep a couple of attempts to arrange them in the right order to find the answer. We recommend going for a consonant-heavy word today.

Today's word begins with the letter A.

There are two vowels in the word. 

The word ends with the letter D.

The other vowel is I.

Biggest clue - The word relates to insects

These are your clues for the day. This should give you a crucial head-start in the game. You only have to find two more clues to get the word. Go on and give the game your best attempt. And if you're still unsure, just scroll down for the solution.
