Wordle answer #684
GUPPY
noun /ˈɡʌpi/
The Word, Explained
A tiny freshwater fish, Poecilia reticulata, popular in home aquariums, that usually has a plain body and black or dark blue tail for the females and a more colorful tail for the males.
"Fred kept a tank of guppies by the windowsill."
Close cousins: millionfish
Tricky because the repeated P 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.
