The word is…

IMPEL.

Impel refers to the act of forcing something to be done.

It’s semantically similar to the word “Compel”, although the words actually have slightly different meanings.

Compelling someone to do something involves constraining them in some way, forcing them to yield to your will.

Impelling someone, on the other hand, is about providing them with a strong motivation.

How to play Wordle

Wordle is a very straightforward word guessing game.

The aim is to guess the correct five-letter word in just six guesses.

If a letter doesn’t appear in the solution word at all, it’ll remain unhighlighted.

Head over to theWordlesite to try it for yourself.

How did Wordle begin?

Wordle began life as a little family game created by software engineer Josh Wardle.

So after a bit of refinement, Wardle released it to the public on his website,Power Language.

Well done, Mr Wardle.

Are any Wordle words not allowed?

However, the answer is picked each day from a much smaller list of more common five-letter words.

Is Wordle getting too easy for you?

The first choice is to turn on Hard Mode.

Hard Mode means that any highlighted lettersmustbe used in all future guesses.

This means that every guess you entermustpotentially be the answer.

If you play by “Ultra-Hard” rules, that’s not allowed.

You must adhere to every clue, and verify every single word you enter is potentially the answer.
