Wordle answer #1253
JELLY
noun /ˈd͡ʒɛl.i/
The Word, Explained
An explosive mixture of nitroglycerine and nitrate absorbed onto a base of wood pulp.
"calf's-foot jelly"
Close cousins: jell-o, jello, jam, marmalade
Tricky because the repeated L 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.
