Wordle answer #1493
TIZZY
noun
The Word, Explained
A state of nervous excitement, confusion, or distress; a dither.
Close cousins: dither, upset
Tricky because the repeated Z 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.
