Wordle answer #591
CROSS
noun /kɹɑs/
The Word, Explained
A geometrical figure consisting of two straight lines or bars intersecting each other such that at least one of them is bisected by the other.
"Put a cross for a wrong answer and a tick for a right one."
Close cousins: hybrid, cross-fertilize, crossbreed, angry
Tricky because the repeated S trips up guesses that assume five unique letters, and with a single vowel, early guesses reveal little.
