Wordle answer #1587
DRILL
noun /dɹɪl/
The Word, Explained
A tool used to remove material so as to create a hole, typically by plunging a rotating cutting bit into a stationary workpiece.
"Wear safety glasses when operating an electric drill."
Close cousins: bore, excavate, gouge, plow
Tricky because the repeated L trips up guesses that assume five unique letters, and with a single vowel, early guesses reveal little.
