Wordle answer #780
BULLY
noun /ˈbʊli/
The Word, Explained
A person who is intentionally, physically, or emotionally cruel to others; especially to those who are weaker or have less power or privilege.
"A playground bully pushed a girl off the swing."
Close cousins: henchman, thug, pimp, dashing
Tricky because the repeated L 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.
