EDITOR'S NOTE: This article is for Wordle answer #450; the September 13th Wordle answer is available now.

The answer for 12th September's Wordle puzzle continues to offer a repeating vowel in the solution that can cause many players to use all their attempts. In contrast, the answer isn't exactly uncommon as it is a prevalent word used in casual conversation. In addition, the word itself will be most overheard in bars or nightclubs as it is one of the more pertinent products sold there. However, it is worth pointing out that the word is more commonly used as slang and used as a word to describe all different types of beverages. The key to solving today's Wordle answer is to figure out the correct positions of the two repeating vowels.
