Wordle answer #495
CARRY
noun /ˈkæ.ɹi/
The Word, Explained
A manner of transporting or lifting something; the grip or position in which something is carried.
"Adjust your carry from time to time so that you don't tire too quickly."
Close cousins: adopt, bear, move, transport
Tricky because the repeated R trips up guesses that assume five unique letters, and with a single vowel, early guesses reveal little.
