Wordle answer #1519
MATTE
noun /mæt/
The Word, Explained
A decorative border around a picture used to inset and center the contents of a frame.
"The image is a perfect square of 8 cm (with white matte border the total dimensions are 14 cm tall by 11 cm wide)."
Close cousins: mat, passe-partout, matt
Tricky because the repeated T trips up guesses that assume five unique letters.
