Wordle answer #102
AGATE
noun /ˈæ.ɡət/
The Word, Explained
A semi-pellucid, uncrystallized variety of quartz, presenting various tints in the same specimen, with colors delicately arranged in stripes or bands, or blended in clouds.
"to be agate; to set the bells agate"
Close cousins: aggie, ruby
Tricky because the repeated A trips up guesses that assume five unique letters.
