Wordle answer #295
BLACK
noun /blak/
The Word, Explained
The colour/color perceived in the absence of light, but also when no light is reflected, but rather absorbed.
"At this point black makes a disastrous move."
Close cousins: blackball, blacklist, blacken, darken
Tricky because it leans on letters most starting words never probe, and with a single vowel, early guesses reveal little.
