The answer to today’s Wordle is “CLIMB”.

The word “Climb” can be both a verb and a noun. Both relate to the act of ascending or descending, whether physically or something more figurative. An example of the verb is, “I endeavored to climb that steep hill”. An example of the noun is, “That was a steep climb up that hill”.

According tothe Online Etymology Dictionary, the origin of “Climb” is the West Germanic word “klimban,” meaning to go up by clinging. In Old English, this became “climban,” meaning to rise gradually or ascend. Most languages with the same root as English have dropped the “b”.
