Today’s Wordle Answer November 6th
The Wordle answer today is stale. The etymology of the word ‘stale’ is uncertain, but may be from Old French estale ‘settled’ or ‘clear’. Stale came into use in the 1300s, referencing wine and ale that had stood long enough to separate from sediments and was therefore clear liquid. While this was originally a desirable quality in alcoholic drinks, the meaning changed to mean no longer fresh in the 15th century. There is also a cognate in Middle Dutch stel meaning old beer or urine. For your next challenge, take a look at these seven Wordle alternatives!
