Today’s Wordle Answer for Friday, June 05, 2025
If you still haven’t beaten today’s Wordle even with the clues provided above, the answer is below…
The answer to today’s Wordle is “WHINY”.
The word “Whiny” is an adjective which means either having a high-pitched or shrill voice or a propensity to complain or nag. An example of the former in a sentence is, “Janice from Friends had a very whiny voice”. An example of the latter in a sentence is, “I love him to bits, but as he’s got older, he has become very whiny”.
According tothe Online Etymology Dictionary, the origin of “Whine” (the verb that the adjective is taken from) are the Old English words “hwinan” and “hwinsian”. The former means “to whiz, hiss, or whistle through the air” and refers to arrows, while the latter refers to the whining sound made by dogs. The alternative (and now more common) meaning of complaining in a feeble way dates back to at least the 1520s.
