Wordle answer #1272
VYING
verb /ˈvaɪ.ɪŋ/
The Word, Explained
To fight for superiority; to contend; to compete eagerly so as to gain something.
"Her suitors were all vying for her attention."
Close cousins: battle, compete, oppose
Tricky because it leans on letters most starting words never probe, and with a single vowel, early guesses reveal little.
