Hint 2Vowels & repeats
Today's word has just one vowel, and one letter appears more than once. -
Hint 3First letter
It starts with J. -
Hint 4Getting closer
A unit of time defined by the frequency of its basic timer – historically, and by convention, 0.01 of a second, but some computer operating systems use other values.

Wordle answer #1119
JIFFY
noun /ˈd͡ʒɪ.fi/
The Word, Explained
A very short, unspecified length of time.
"I’ll be back in a jiffy."
Close cousins: jif, jiff
Tricky because the repeated F trips up guesses that assume five unique letters, and it leans on letters most starting words never probe, and with a single vowel, early guesses reveal little.
