Wordle answer #1640
DODGY
adjective /ˈdɒdʒ.i/
The Word, Explained
Evasive and shifty
"Asked why, a spokesman gave a dodgy answer about legal ramifications."
Close cousins: dodge, chancy, risky, flaky
Tricky because the repeated D 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.
