Wordle answer #46
CLUCK
noun /klʌk/
The Word, Explained
The sound made by a hen, especially when brooding, or calling her chicks.
"My mother clucked her tongue in disapproval."
Tricky because the repeated C 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.
