Wordle answer #34
STAFF
noun /ˈstæf/
The Word, Explained
(plural staffs or staves) A long, straight, thick wooden rod or stick, especially one used to assist in walking.
"The company employed 10 new members of staff this month."
Close cousins: personnel, stave
Tricky because the repeated F trips up guesses that assume five unique letters, and with a single vowel, early guesses reveal little.
