Today’s Wordle answer is: STEAD. Not to be confused with a steed (which is a horse, this is not a horse), a stead is a place or role, and is more or less exclusively used to refer to someone or something filling in for the originally intended occupant of said place or role. It’s probably more familiar as a component part of the far more common word “instead”. Fun fact: “stead” has the same etymological root as the suffixes -stad or -stadt, meaning town in Dutch and German, respectively. The more you know! And now that you know it, please be considerate of other players, and keep today’s solution to yourself until the puzzle resets tomorrow. Bit of a tricky one again today, but I hope you had fun!
