Wordle answer #391
WEDGE
noun /wɛdʒ/
The Word, Explained
One of the simple machines; a piece of material, such as metal or wood, thick at one edge and tapered to a thin edge at the other for insertion in a narrow crevice, used for splitting, tightening, securing, or levering.
"Stick a wedge under the door, will you? It keeps blowing shut."
Close cousins: skein
Tricky because the repeated E trips up guesses that assume five unique letters.
