EDITOR'S NOTE: This article is for Wordle answer #412; the August 6th Wordle answer is available now.

August 5th’s Wordle answer is one of the easier puzzles to solve, considering some of the solutions from this past week. However, while the answer is a fairly common word, it does feature a repeating letter that may not become apparent to players while trying to solve today’s solution. What makes this solution even more complicated is the repeating consonant could only be noticed if players use the right set of starting words. Therefore, the best way to solve this Wordle puzzle is to narrow down the correct position of unconfirmed letters.
